Vlingo Corporation launched today a beta version of its voice-powered interface for mobile phones made possible by breakthrough speech recognition technology developed by the company. Freeing users from tedious triple-tapping to text, search or download mobile content from their phones, vlingo gives consumers control over the mobile Internet with the power of their voices. Users do not need to change how they speak or memorize a list of commands. They can say what they want, how they want, and vlingo delivers the results – word for word.

Vlingo’s voice-powered interface lets users speak or type into any vlingo-enabled text box on their mobile phones – giving them access to all the information, entertainment and communication applications offered through today’s mobile services. Vlingo is easy to use, offering:

• No  limits on what you can say. Until  now, even the most “advanced” speech-enabled applications force  the user to go through specific sets of steps or a series of commands to  accomplish a task (for example, for most 411 services, the user first must  speak the city/state and then the name of the business). By contrast, vlingo  has no application-specific grammars or scripted interactions. Vlingo lets  consumers say what they want, when they want.
• The most accurate system on the  market. Vlingo  gets better with use. The vlingo approach  takes into account what each user has spoken in the particular text box within  a particular application, and dynamically leverages this knowledge to  continually improve accuracy for that user, and the entire  community.
• The ability to  freely mix typing and talking. In  situations  where people prefer to enter text using the keypad on the phone, vlingo allows  them to freely move between keypad entry and speech  entry.
• Simple API for application  integration. The vlingo technology makes use  of a lightweight library, which can run on the majority of 3G and multi-media  enabled phones to allow easy integration into a wide range of  applications.

Leveraging a new technology called adaptive Hierarchical Language Models (HLMs), vlingo’s one-of-a-kind approach allows carriers and mobile application providers to quickly and inexpensively voice-enable any application – without custom engineering or in-house speech expertise. Unlike conventional voice recognition technologies that require individual purpose-built applications and rely on constrained grammars and scripted interactions, vlingo’s open approach eliminates a traditionally costly and intensive manual effort. This advancement allows mobile application providers and carriers to integrate speech into any existing application with ease and at a low cost. As a result, consumers get quick, easy and accurate access to mobile applications, which translates into new revenue streams.
