Hey Speech-Heads,

You may remember the News Feature we ran online in Speech Technology about the Moshi IVR Alarm Clock.

Well, the Moshi IVR Alarm Clock is still making Speech Waves.

The Wonder Foundation–founded by Stevie Wonder–and the Sendero Group this month awarded Moshi with the Vision Free Award at the Consumer Electronics Show.

The Vision Free Awards program recognizes companies that create user-friendly products and services designed with the visually impaired in mind.

The IVR Clock features technology that utilizes an unique hybrid model of Neural Net and HMM Phonetic Speaker Independent (SI) Recognition software. It allows for large vocabulary recognition that is highly accurate, noise robust and capable of accommodating a wide variety of accents. And, without any pre-programming, each Moshi IVR Alarm Clock can recognize every user’s voice right out of the box.

So go out and get yourself one today.  I have one.  And so does my Speech Brother Eric B.
