IQ Technology, a solutions provider for text input and speech solutions, has become the official reseller for Loquendo Embedded TTS and Loquendo Embedded ASR in Taiwan.

Taiwan is a key market for compact devices and PCs, and because the mobile and e-book sectors have been seeing enormous growth in recent years, the economy is primed to see a sharp rise in the take-up of speech technologies. IQ-Technology is very well positioned to take advantage of this buoyant market.

"Loquendo is very pleased to have partnered with IQ-Technology," says Silvio Nasi, Loquendo's embedded technologies sales director. "Their expertise brings together various market-leading technologies to create advanced solutions for today’s speech-enabled applications and devices."

"Loquendo has created a range of high-quality speech technologies for use in compact devices and on embedded platforms," says Ray Chao, IQ Technology CEO. "Taiwan is a major player in the e-book reader, smartphone, and portable PC markets, and IQ Technology aims to drive significant take-up of text-to-speech and speech recognition on such devices."
