ART is to port its revolutionary smARTspeak XG software to Qualcomm's family of CDMA Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets.

ART's speaker-independent smARTspeak XG is an embedded, phoneme-based name dialling solution designed for mass-market wireless mobile devices.

Qualcomm's MSM products support key multimode, multiband third-generation (3G) wireless technologies.

"We are delighted to be porting smARTspeak XG's comprehensive range of voice functionality to Qualcomm's MSM family of chipsets", said Eran Aharonson, ART's president.

This will make an optimised version of ART's user friendly and robust voice recognition technology easily available to handset designers using Qualcomm's MSM chipsets.

"Qualcomm is dedicated to providing its customers with advanced and highly integrated technologies", said Don Schrock, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies".

ART's embedded voice-control software will augment the solutions our MSM family of chipsets offers to the wireless industry".

ART's latest technological innovation, the smARTspeak XG is the first embedded, speaker-independent name-dialling solution to be introduced for mass-market deployment.

Based on phonemic identification, the dynamic XG needs no training for instant name dialling, no matter how users structure their command sentences.

Thus both 'call John Smith in his office' and 'John Smith - office' provide the same accurate response.

Evolved from the successful smARTspeak NG platform, the XG offers the same modular features of speaker-dependent name dialling, speaker-independent continuous digit dialling, speaker-independent command and control, and trainable continuous digit dialling for custom languages.
