WHY SPEECH RECOGNITION

From the very beginning of our corporate life we knew that technology is progressing fast and offers more complex solutions every day. Complexity brings a wide spread situation: users are overcome by features and uses and therefore stop using new and innovating products in full. An average situation is where user knows that his device can do a certain thing, but has no idea on how to do that. 
To solve such obstacle there is a need in revolution of user-machine interface, i.e. something has to change to make complex machinery more user-friendly in user eyes.
And what can be more natural and friendly than speech dialogue? Nothing can.

SPEEREO SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM HISTORY

Main SSR development process took about three years and in year 2000 we have finalized our speaker independent speech recognition system with large vocabulary.
At that time we were aiming at mobile and embedded devices that possessed small resources compared to PC market. Therefore we have strived to optimize SSR, to make it most effective in the market.
At the same time we have applied much effort in developing stable and high quality speech recognition that will bring same result in miscellaneous surroundings (in the street, moving vehicle, at the café, etc.).
In May of 2001 Speereo Speech interface was ported into Windows CE platform. By the end of 2001 Speereo Voice Organizer application was operating on HP Jornada 54X (SH3) and Casio Cassiopeia E-125 (MIPS). We were the first company that developed a working speech recognition engine for mobile market. 
In 2001 we have also started a development of multilanguage phrasebook application Speereo Voice Translator (SVT).
By spring of 2002 Speereo Voice Organizer was operating on Pocket PC devices and by August – nominated by PocketPC Magazine. In October of 2002 we have shown our software at Pocket PC Summit in Hollywood. Speereo was a participant and a sponsor of the event.
In June of 2005 first edition of Speereo Voice Translator (SVT) for Symbian was issued. Today SVT was updated several times and ported to Java platform as well.
Speereo Software has brought together over 30 years of speech recognition experience applied by our engineers, mathematicians, and programmers. Now the work on Speereo Speech Recognition Technology embodies 150 person-years.

FUTURE

We believe that future holds a new break-through for everyone.
Further development of traditional user-machine interface brings nothing. All ‘new and innovating features’ advertised in the market are no more but improvement of something old.
That is why speech recognition will become a new revolutionary step and will make its way to all areas of everyday life, to all industries.
Today we already have ready to market products and have developed some use-cases and concepts on how SSR will come handy in many industries and markets. Explore our ‘Industries’ section to see them.
