Computer Telephone

Speech technologies are hot.

Machines can now recognize your voice using automatic speech recognition (ASR) or read you information from a file using text-to-speech (TTS). From simple DTMF (telephone keypad) replacement to sophisticated personal assistants and telephony email-reading applications, speech technologies are exploding in the computer telephony marketplace. You can now deliver market solutions that were inconceivable just a few years ago.

Speech technologies are critical to your success.

Technology is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Competition is growing in the cellular market and developing European and Asian markets, where speech technologies are quickly overtaking dial-pulse-detection as an alternative to interactive voice response (IVR) services. In fact, as these technologies rapidly approach mass market status, you can't afford to build your next application without advanced speech products.

Speech technologies save money.

You can now offer personal, yet automated service at a lower cost. Speech technologies track your customer profiles better than many human operators. And it's never rude.

You're anxious to design speech technologies into your next application. But beware.

• Beware the "vaporware" phenomenon. It's particularly pervasive in the speech technologies world. You've heard of all the cool ideas for applications, advertised falsely as actual products. The CT advanced speech recognition platform, is available today. In fact, CT has been in full production for over two years. The software (the part that really matters) is there, too.
• Beware the limitations of other speech recognition platforms. You want choices. You want to choose from any of the leading software vendors. From any speech recognition capability. From any major operating system. From any number of languages. With CT, the choices are yours.
• Beware the limitations of proprietary platforms. As an open DSP platform, CT offers a generic, yet powerful, signal processing foundation where you can deploy almost any signal processing algorithm. Invest in CT and you'll find an unmatched array of available algorithm products from the industry's leading speech technology vendors. You can create innovative, one-of-a-kind, value-added applications that greatly improve your competitive position in the application development marketplace.
