Recent improvements in voice recognition technology are paving the way for improvements in quality, productivity and cost in processes as diverse as order picking, quality inspection, and manufacturing. Vulcan Voice technology takes advantage of off-the-shelf, commercially available hardware to make voice technology cost-effective for a wider group of applications than ever before, including asset management; maintenance, repair, and overhaul; manufacturing; retail/wholesale; and warehousing and distribution.

Vulcan Voice features include:

Hands-Free, Eyes on Task: Speech-directed operations allow users to listen while they work, keeping their eyes on the task and both hands free. Voice solutions improve operator safety while offering a 10% to 60% improvement in productivity and 99%+ accuracy in item selection.

High-Quality Speech: Vulcan Voice incorporates digitized voice technology in its speech engine to provide a true human voice instead of the mechanical-sounding output of older voice applications. A pleasing variety of male and female voices is available for several languages, including English, Spanish, French, and German.

Excellent Voice Recognition: Vulcan continually adjusts for ambient noise conditions, removing the need for noise sampling and providing excellent voice-recognition in noisy industrial environments. It not only recognizes user commands but, through 'conversation filtering,' can ignore conversational speech and only act on spoken commands.

Device-Independence: Designed to run on Windows CE, Windows Mobile and Windows XP, Vulcan Voice operates on virtually all voice-enabled, mobile and stationary computers from rugged industrial hand-held devices to common PDA’s and desktops. The operator can use any noise-canceling headset, eliminating the need for proprietary equipment when adding text-to-speech and speech recognition functionality to enterprise systems.

Multi-Modal Applications: Vulcan Voice provides a truly multi-modal environment; switch from voice direction to keyboard/screen interaction,to bar code scanning to RFID--freely and seamlessly.

Ease of Use: Proven to work for a variety of regional accents, Vulcan’s speaker-independent voice recognition means no time lost 'training' a device to recognize a specific speaker or accent. There’s no need to configure a headset or radio; the user picks up any radio and starts work immediately.

Robust Interface: Vulcan Voice’s real-time interface ensures current data for all systems requiring the user’s data. If communications are interrupted for any reason, Vulcan Voice stores pending information and periodically retries data transfer. In environments without continuous RF coverage, Vulcan Voice implements a standard store-and-forward interface. To facilitate the interface with the user’s application, Vulcan Voice provides a standard API that can be invoked by standard 3GL or 4GL managed or unmanaged rapid development platforms like the .NET Framework C#, VB, C++, etc.
