ART joins Symbian's Platinum Partner Program
ATLANTA, Oct 29, 2002 - ART Advanced Recognition Technologies, Inc., global leaders in natural Human Interface
technologies announces that it has joined Symbian's Platinum Partner Program.
The Symbian Platinum Program is open to companies that have a technology or strategic position that is key to the success of mobile computing
technology surrounding Symbian OS.
ART has worked to optimize its speech and handwriting recognizers for use with Symbian OS. As part of being a Symbian Platinum Partner, ART
has made its leading speech recognition technology, the smARTspeak XG(TM), available for Symbian developers and other third parties.
In addition, under the terms of a new licensing agreement, ART's simpliWrite(TM) and smARTwriter(R) technologies will be distributed with
Symbian's OS Development Kit which available to Symbian Platinum Partners.
"Handwriting and speech recognition is one of the core technologies demanded by the next generation of Symbian smartphones," said Gilles Allain,
Vice President, Partnerships. "We are delighted to welcome ART as a Symbian Platinum Partner."
"As input method continues to grow as a critical factor in user experience, ART's software-only natural handwriting and speech recognition
solutions have been especially designed to enhance the next generation of Wireless Independent Devices through more powerful human user
interface features," said Eran Aharonson, ART's President.
About ART's Handwriting and Speech Recognition Technologies
Amongst the most advanced handwriting recognition solutions available, ART's natural handwriting recognizers intuitively accept users' own natural
writing -- doing away with the need to learn new characters or artificial symbols. Noise robust for inaccurate or 'trembling' script, they are fast and
accurate, providing continuous on-the-fly recognition even when letters are written over one another. SimpliWrite(TM) is a feature-rich recognizer
supporting over 30 languages that allows the user to add special ways of writing characters and symbols. smARTwriter(R) is a self-trainable,
complete word or sentence recognizer that integrates case-differentiated letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation with no operational actions
required to switch between them. It also adjusts to special handwriting styles.
ART's breakthrough smARTspeak XG(TM) is the first-ever speech recognition solution to provide speaker independent name dialing solution
designed for wireless mobile devices. Based on phonemic identification, this advanced technology needs no training to perform accurate name
dialing, no matter how command sentences are structured. Thus 'Call John Smith in his office' or 'John Smith -- office' both provide the same
accurate response. Updating the smARTspeak NG(TM) platform, the smARTspeak XG(TM) offers the previously popular modular features of
speaker dependent name dialing, speaker independent continuous digit dialing, speaker independent command & control and trainable continuous
digit dialing for custom languages.
