ZTE Star 2 Integrates Speech Recognition and Rich Communication Services
ZTE, a China-based global manufacturer of smartphones and mobile devices, has launched ZTE Star 2, its latest 4G LTE flagship voice-controlled device. Key highlights of the ZTE Star 2 include intelligent system-level voice control, an enhanced mobile entertainment experience, and a new customizable user interface.
In China, ZTE Star 2 is one of the few devices to support China Mobile's new rich communication services (RCS), representing a significant milestone for smart devices. ZTE Star 2's voice control technology will integrate RCS, voice messaging, and call features, offering an advanced and seamless voice experience across different platforms within China Mobile's RCS service.
ZTE Star 2 features the industry's first system-level voice and speech recognition solution that is fully functional even when the device is offline and not connected to a network. Its improved recognition technology offers a response rate of just 1.2 seconds, with a 90 percent success rate even in abnormal noise ambience conditions. ZTE Star 2's array of voice control functions allow users to unlock the device with their own unique voice tone, make phone calls, open third-party apps, play music, take photos, and more. The device also offers a number of smart voice functions for both business and entertainment purposes, such as real-time voice-to-text input and a function that allows users to play music using voice commands.
Star 2 also comes with ZTE's newly improved driving mode, which offers a safer and more convenient hands-free driving experience. Its driving mode features a range of voice-control functions, such as automatic GPS navigation, message replying, call answering, and music control.
Additionally, ZTE Star 2 voice-control functions are complemented by motion-sensing features that offer added convenience. For instance, a user can simply hold the device by her ear and say the name of a contact to call her, without having to activate the touch screen or unlock the device.
