Fonix Speech will be providing voice recognition software as part of next generation development kits. Fonix Speech delivered the technology to allow Xbox developers to use voice recognition in their games and they have announced that they’ll also be providing this technology for the next-generation Xbox 360.
Brian Schmidt, Microsoft program manager for Audio and Voice Technologies, said:
“By incorporating Fonix’s speech recognition technology into our Xbox 360 development kit, game developers can give players a fun and natural way of interacting with their games.“
You can experience Fonix Speech’s current technology in many of Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy games including Rainbow Six 3 and Ghost Recon 2. The technology can also be found in the impending port of Delta Force: Black Hawk Down as well as Universal Games’ SWAT: Global Strike Team.
“Working with Microsoft enables Fonix to offer market-leading voice command solutions for next-generation products and to offer new interface possibilities for game developers and players,” said Tim K. Hong, VP, Fonix Games.
“Fonix looks forward to contributing to a new generation of videogames as developers use Xbox 360 to showcase greater possibilities for voice recognition in games.“
