No. Unlike our competitors who use speaker dependent technology, SyVox uses speaker independent technology. That means that our technology actually analyzes the sound building blocks of what is spoken and converts them into words. This approach eliminates the need to teach the system how each user speaks a word to obtain reliable speech/voice recognition.

Yes. The SyVox Client is built to work in noisy environments. Sophisticated noise filtering and gain control software embedded in the client allow the client to capture speech and ignore the environment around them. SyVox Clients are currently in use in environments were the ambient noise regularly exceeds 85 dB.

No. The microphone technology used with the SyVox Client is directional and designed to exclusively capture speech from the person wearing the headset. When properly worn, workers can reliably work near one another without interfering with the speech operation of the worker next to them. If the workers intend to engage in a conversation, it is recommended that the microphone be disabled. This can be accomplished by simply pressing the microphone mute button on the terminal at which time the client will inform the user if the client is “listening” or “not listening”.

Yes. The SyVox Client uses speech recognition models that were developed by sampling thousands of speakers (native and non-native). This sampling is incorporated into a model which allows the speech engine to understand a wide variety of pronunciations for a given word.

Although the SyVox Client is capable of supporting long strings of spoken numbers and letters, there are often better methods for capturing this type of data. That is why the SyVox Client supports bar code scanning and keyboard data entry. Speech recognition is best used when there are a limited number of words or phrases tobe recognized.
