>Conversay and Qualcomm Inc. today reached an agreement that will enable
>handset manufacturers to embed Conversay speech technology, including speech
>recognition and text-to-speech, in Qualcomm CDMA Technologies' (QCT) Mobile
>Station Modem (MSM) integrated circuit and system software solutions used in
>CDMA handsets.
>QCT initially plans to port Conversay's front-end software to the QDSP2000
>embedded in its MSM integrated circuit and system software for CDMA wireless
>devices. The software supports speaker-independent speech recognition and
>text-to-speech capabilities. Integrating the software into the MSM solution
>eliminates the need for a separate dedicated digital signal processor (DSP).
>Programming Conversay's back-end feature software into QCT's MSMs allows
>manufacturers to produce wireless devices that can be operated and navigated
>using spoken commands. This system solution, according to the companies,
>enables integration with QCT's Wireless Internet Launchpad (WIL) suite of
>advanced technologies and software. It will also support the Binary Runtime
>Environment for Wireless (BREW) applications platform. The WIL suite
>includes gpsOne position location capabilities featuring SnapTrack
>technology, Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, UMTS Subscriber Identity
>Module (SIM), and multimedia features such as Qtunes MP3 player software
>support and CMX MIDI-based multimedia software.
>Integration support for Conversay's speech technology on MSM devices is
>expected to be available in the third quarter of 2001, according to the
>companies.
