Developers can take advantage of this best of breed, integrated platform to create speech-driven applications that allow instant access to information from any landline, wireless or mobile phone or other handheld device. Bludis has been distributing Brooktrout products since 1996, most recently, the TR1000 speech platform. "We are delighted to be adding VoiceGenie's NeXusPoint platform to our product offerings. VoiceGenie's leadership in VoiceXML solutions, together with Brooktrout's TR1000 speech platform, provide an ideal combination for companies developing industry leading applications in the rapidly growing speech market," said Giuseppe Di Girolamo, president of Bludis. Brooktrout and VoiceGenie's joint integration efforts continue to evolve and Brooktrout's TR1000 now supports upgraded versions of NeXusPoint. VoiceXML developers can now take advantage of Brooktrout's TR1000 advanced speech processing features when building their applications on the NeXusPoint. The TR1000's full-duplex operation, long-tail echo cancellation and integrated Voice Activity Detection improve system accuracy and performance, and complement NeXusPoint's advanced audio processing, application and development tools, multi-language support and voice verification capabilities to deliver high levels of scalability, flexibility and robustness.
