One Voice to Rule It All

New voice recognition system from One Voice Technologies allows users to control home entertainment experiences through Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 without a remote.

“Play Fellowship of the Ring.” Is it your dream to have a voice activated, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 powered home entertainment system? That’s the idea behind One Voice Technologies’ new Media Center Communicator product.

One Voice said today they had launched a sales campaign of their voice recognition product at select CompUSA retail outlets to test the viability of the Media Center Communicator on physical store shelves (it is already available online). If all goes as planned, they expect a full product roll out by the busy holiday shopping season.

Media Center Communicator, in a nut shell, allows users to speak voice commands through an open air microphone to their Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 system. Multiple voice navigation options exist, including instructing the computer to play music, video and digital image content, commence instant messaging conversations, send and receive email and begin PC to Phone calling.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for the company,” said Dean Weber, President and CEO of One Voice. “CompUSA is a leading national retailer and the ideal partner to drive retail sales of our Media Center Communicator product. Media Center Communicator is the perfect product for anyone that owns an iPod, Zen or other MP3 players, owns a digital camera, records live TV, owns a plasma or LCD TV or simply is looking for the ultimate digital entertainment experience!”
