Fonix Speech is saying they've licensed their VoiceIn v4.2 software to Autodesk. But, no other details, unfortunately. Given the Fonix company's emphasis on games, the speech technology might be be directed at Autodesk's other half, the one that caters software to movies and video games -- rather than to the CAD side.
But the technology is now adapted to the iPhone, and has these attributes:
* Voice dial by name or number.
* Highly accurate speech recognition in noisy environments.
* Voice confirmation using recorded speech together with text-to-speech.
These attributes would work in the CAD environment. Regarding the Autodesk deal, however, the ceo of Fonix was splendidly vague:
Future product development and deliverables will be announced during the normal course of market product announcements.
