Voice Solutions
Add voice to your existing Warehouse Management System
The benefits of Voice technology to your enterprise are endless, and with Wavelink Speakeasy™, you no longer have to worry about a time consuming and cost-prohibitive implementation. Speakeasy delivers low-cost, high quality integration of client-side, Voice driven data collection into existing host connectivity applications.
Adding Voice has been proven to deliver 99% accuracy over paper picking and at least, 10% improvement in productivity to warehouse applications such as data-entry, picking and processing. Voice also dramatically improves safety by allowing workers to work in a hands and eyes-free environment. Voice can now be extended beyond traditional applications like Voice-picking and improves business processes, such as receiving, loading and stock checking.
Historically, implementing mobile emulation-based Voice applications required the creation of new server-side applications, specialized Voice-specific mobile devices and the purchase of additional server hardware, which cut into productivity and the bottom-line. With Speakeasy, we can add voice support to existing terminal emulation applications. No new server, modification or replacement of the host application is required. With monitoring and diagnostics tools in the TE client interface, we can quickly and easily optimize Speakeasy for your existing hardware or environment. It even takes into account a user’s environment, personal pronunciation patterns, their dialect, and any background noise. Speakeasy truly is providing a significant return in accuracy and productivity with little to no training.
So how does Speakeasy work?
100% client-side processing
The need to transmit information related to voice processing over the wireless LAN is eliminated, which dramatically reduces network traffic, also if one device stops working, then only that device stops working, Speakeasy is completely client side.
No server revisions required
Speakeasy is the only voice-enabling technology for terminal emulation implemented through scripting on the mobile device itself, meaning no requirements for voice servers, no requirement for any changes to your WMS.
Speaker independent
Many voice solutions rely upon user-specific voice profiles and continual management. Speakeasy utilizes a powerful and proven speech recognition engine eliminating the need for voice profiles.
Customizable to specific needs
With the Wavelink® scripting engine, on-screen text or custom phrases are vocalized through the emulation screen. Further customizable elements include vocabularies, languages and voices.
Protects network bandwidth
Speakeasy eliminates negative impact on network bandwidth with 100% of the voice processing occurring on the mobile device. There is no need to expand the network infrastructure to accommodate the integration into legacy applications.
Internationalization
Speakeasy offers native language support for global deployments and for regional dialects. This provides speech-to-text and text-to-speech functionality for a wide variety of languages, even if the mobile device does not support the display of the language.
The power of industry-leading Nuance voice engines
Nuance’s robust speech-to-text and text-to-speech engine provides a feature rich experience with maximum accuracy and ensures seamless transition from spoken prompts to text-to-speech.
Non-proprietary hardware/software requirements
Speakeasy’s flexibility allows for it to be loaded via Microsoft ActiveSync, Motorola MSP or Wavelink Avalanche. Proprietary hardware such as servers and mobile devices are not required maximizing the return on investment of existing hardware.
Flexible mobile device options
Many voice implementations require the use of specialized, voice-only mobile devices. Speakeasy runs on voice-capable mobile devices that support multiple applications, multiple input types, retaining the screen and the devices scanner, which makes Speakeasy truly multi modal.
