Goog411 speech recognition to GE phones
Interesting...
Sent to you by Brandon Tyler via Google Reader:
The GE Premiere DECT 6.0 28821FJ3 has a cool new "GOOG-411" button centered on the handset, that get's instant free business information calls!
The button auto-dials Google’s free, voice-activated, speech recognition-driven business directory assistance service and becomes a feature on more than a dozen GE phones becoming to be available come April 2008. Connections are done for free, leaving your dial tone provider out of luck, when it comes to directory assistance call revenues.
(This deal benefits Google in one particularly semi-interesting area, as it provides a "no brainer" option for
even more users to give Google more phoneme samples of speech in it's quest for advanced speaker-independent speech recognition, as well)
