Wavelink Expands Voice Capabilities for Mobile Applications

Wavelink Speakeasy SDK adds voice to existing wireless applications to improve productivity, accuracy and safety

MIDVALE, UTAH — OCT. 28, 2008 — Wavelink® Corporation today announced the addition of Wavelink Speakeasy™ SDK (Software Development Kit) to the Speakeasy voice platform, allowing Wavelink voice solutions to extend beyond the warehouse to include mobile field sales and services, mobile dispatch and inspection applications. The value proposition of voice, already proven in the warehouse, now extends across the enterprise for cost reductions, new mobile workforce deployments, and system and process improvements. With voice, organizations can deliver higher productivity, accuracy and safety by voice-enabling data collection and application commands, functions and navigation.

The Speakeasy voice platform removes proprietary technology barriers by offering complete client-resident, text-to-speech and speech-to-text engines and automated voice features that are device, server, application and network independent. Enterprises can add voice capabilities to existing applications and hardware, avoiding expensive application modification or replacement and the risk and cost of changing existing business processes.

"By delivering a product that is easy to deploy and integrates with existing systems, voice technology is poised to become widely adopted in the mobile enterprise," said Lamar Van Wagenen, Wavelink president. "With Wavelink Speakeasy SDK, enterprises can now voice-enable client-side batch applications, in addition to real-time, host-based applications, bringing the value of voice to sales and service personnel in the field."

In addition to removing proprietary technology barriers and providing a simple installation and configuration, Wavelink Speakeasy provides user flexibility. Through native support for multiple languages and regional dialects and through the elimination of user-specific voice profiles, Speakeasy SDK makes it easy to switch from one mobile device user to another. As voice processing occurs on the device before transmitting across the wireless LAN, it also significantly reduces network bandwidth.

Wavelink Speakeasy SDK is a new application in the Speakeasy family of voice solutions from Wavelink that utilizes Vangard Voice Systems AccuSpeech®Mobile technology. Speakeasy adds voice support to existing terminal emulation applications. In addition to adding Speakeasy SDK to its portfolio, Wavelink is extending Speakeasy to Wavelink Studio® a widely adopted wireless application development tool.

Wavelink Speakeasy SDK is now available through Wavelink partners. For more information, please visit http://www.wavelink.com/products/speakeasysdk.aspx.
