Aculab's integration with Envox 6 allows all voice solution developers to combine best-in-class telephony hardware with a rapid application development environment that can reduce development time by 50% or more.
Prosody brings a number of advantages to users of Envox 6.
In addition to basic speech processing functions such as play and record, it offers a broader set of higher-level technologies including automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech and speaker verification and identification, all in a single card solution.
The wide range of E1 and T1 protocols and approvals available from Aculab enable the rapid development of Envox-based voice solutions for global deployment.
Envox 6 users will also gain access to Aculab's unique support services, which are available to help developers through each stage of their product's life cycle.
These services include technical consultancy and support, training and marketing programmes.
Talking of the integration, Chris Gravett, Aculab's Sales and Marketing Director said: "This is great news for both Aculab and Envox Worldwide.
Together, our products will allow customers to lower the total cost of development and deployment of voice solutions".
"They are ideal for creating virtually any type of voice solution, including IVR and enhanced self-service, VoiceXML, mobile Internet and carrier solutions".
"We're very pleased that Aculab has integrated their Prosody product line with the Envox Communications Development Platform", said Mark D Flanagan, President and COO of Envox Worldwide.
"This move will ensure that Aculab customers have a rapid application development option that supports the widest array of communications and IT technologies and standards in the industry, including speech technologies, VoiceXML, VoIP and web services".
Aculab used the Envox telephony driver API to develop this integration package.
This provides Envox 6 developers with complete access to Aculab's telephony software, which contains device driver control for Prosody products.
