Computing is tracking the communications revolution in reverse. In the beginning, for most computer users, there was the keyboard, with the mouse close behind. Today, many people are using a stylus and a form of writing to interact with their hand-held computers. Tomorrow, voice interaction will become an inexpensive and convenient way to get information in and out of our computers. Ironically enough, many people’s first contact with computers and the Internet will be through one of the oldest forms of communication – the human voice.
A simple search of the Internet for the phrases ‘voice response’ and ‘voice recognition’ will return dozens of companies, from start-ups to mighty IBM, all of whom are collectively spending hundreds of millions of dollars to put high-powered computing a few words away. One easy way to find out how advanced voice technology has become is to call Tellme.com and start talking. Just dial 1-800-555TELL in the United States or 1-408-678-0032 from outside the U.S.
Tellme.com is one of the leading edge companies that are making voice technology a reality. The best part of voice technology is that almost everyone will benefit, from the ‘road warrior’ juggling a busy schedule to the handicapped, from the school-teacher who needs to help a single child with a new skill, to people anywhere struggling with illiteracy.
