BRUSSELS, Belgium, July 12 /PRNewswire/ --
- VoiceGenie and Bludis sign distribution agreement
Brooktrout Technology, Bludis and VoiceGenie today announced a partnership to provide an integrated VoiceXML solution for developers of speech-enabled applications in Italy. The partnership will allow Bludis to offer developers a platform that combines Brooktrout's TR1000(TM) speech platform and NeXusPoint, VoiceGenie's VoiceXML-based platform, to build speech-enabled applications such as voice self-help systems, advanced message delivery services, virtual assistants, and automated business finder and operator services. Based on an open-standards architecture, the integrated platform is mature, reliable, and flexible.
Through distribution arrangements with Brooktrout and VoiceGenie, Bludis, a European Value Added Distributor of information technology, will be able to provide a 100% VoiceXML compliant platform to their customers. 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.
"We are extremely pleased to be working with Bludis to distribute our VoiceXML platform into Italy," said Frank Tersigni, Vice President, Channels and Business Development with VoiceGenie. "This partnership will enable us to extend our global reach and benefit developers who are looking for a reliable, cost-effective, and secure voice solution."
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.
"At Brooktrout, we believe that the strength of our TR1000 voice processing products, in combination with our commitment to both Bludis and VoiceGenie, will make a strong contribution to the success of this partnership in the Italian market," said Peter Vescuso, Vice President of Market Development at Brooktrout. "We work as a team with our partners from start to finish and invest in the success of our customers to help them expand into new markets and grow their businesses."
