Voice Recognition Applications for Companies Considered Article By: Lance W. The incredible leaps in technology for voice recognition software are huge and constantly moving forward. For instance, corporations are now using CRM Voice Software for their call centers. These systems can pick up customer intent, emotions and feelings, just by studying the patterns in the voice, pauses between words, and the voice inflection of those words spoken. This means that someone talking to a call center computer is completely understood and the company can derive more information about satisfaction levels, customer service and improve the quality of their products and services faster. Politicians are also starting to use this for constituents that call it. Of course, these technologies have great value to the military for threat assessment as well, protecting human civilizations from terrorism. The voice recognition software programmers and engineers have devised way to give each word, phrase and sentence, values of intensity, volume, and variation, but obviously, you can see how quickly that can complicate itself, not an easy task. However, in doing so voice recognition can also get very close to identifying the unique speaker. This has applications as well for training the software for accuracy amongst users, switching users without being instructed and bettering accuracy with unknown users. Each year voice recognition has improved - the future of voice recognition is here. The Voice Recognition software is slowing replacing court reporters, an endeavor with huge staffing shortages in many areas. Now some courts are using Voice Recognition instead. Police Departments and US Troops in Iraq are using Tablet PCs and PDAs that can interpret what's said and deliver that sentence in voice to the other party in their language. When the other party replies, their words are translated back into English and written on the screen. Voice Recognition lends itself well to One-on-One instruction for students using Avatars to help with teacher shortages, help special kids and assist in computer training. Corporate Training, as well is a big application, allowing complete interface, with the trainee or student, which is perfect for educational purposes. And these are only some of the applications that are currently in use or development right now. The question is what lies in store for the future? The Online Think Tank is currently studying these technologies and looking 5-years out into the future and we see the road ahead, as Runway. This technology is about to take-off and thus, we must all ask ourselves what else do we see just beyond the horizon. Think on this.
