Mobile Phone Market
Mobile phone market is rapidly growing. State of the art technology not only in telecommunications but also in digital photography and PDA, is being used in mobiles.

In some countries voice mail messages are being converted into text using speech recognition technology and sent to the owner. This service will allow the customers to read messages when they can’t listen to them. Since current speech recognition systems are monolingual it will not be possible to provide this service in multiple languages.

Alivox provides a solution for this through its product ALiS. ALiS can act as a switching front-end to a battery of monolingual speech recognisers. As the speaker will speak, the speech will first pass through ALiS. ALiS will process this speech and identify the language of the speech. Once the language is identified, the entire voice mail is routed to the appropriate speech recogniser which converts it into text and sends it to the respective recipient.
