[January 17, 2008] Wavelink Supplies Voice-Enabled Mobility Solutions Based on Oracle Applications Tweet (Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Wavelink, a provider of mobile application development and mobile device and network management software and member of Oracle PartnerNetwork, announced it is providing voice solutions that leverage Oracle's mobility platform for Oracle Warehouse Management. Through the agreement, Wavelink is providing Speakeasy, with its unique speech-to-text and text-to-speech capability, as a front end to Oracle's supply chain execution suite of products including Oracle Warehouse Management and Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications. This allows customers to use voice commands for hands-free data collection, providing increased data accuracy and improved employee productivity. "With Speakeasy, customers don't need to worry about acquiring voice-specific mobile devices or modifying their applications," said Lamar Van Wagenen, Wavelink president and COO. "Essentially, Wavelink enables companies to easily add voice capabilities to their existing applications without all the hurdles and additional costs that have hindered the adoption of voice solutions in the past." Wavelink Speakeasy delivers voice-driven data collection into existing host connectivity applications to increase workforce productivity and fully leverage mobile applications and devices. Administrators can easily add voice to their emulation applications without revising the host application or purchasing additional hardware and software. Speakeasy provides high-quality speech-to-text and text-to-speech functionality and supports multiple languages out of the box. Oracle Warehouse Management enables companies to maximize their utilization of labor, space and equipment investments by coordinating and optimizing resource usage and material flows across a global supply chain on a single platform. It supports inbound, outbound and reverse logistics, as well as finished, raw and work-in-process materials. This is beneficial for manufacturing and distribution environments and advanced value-added services such as kitting and cross docking. Wavelink is demonstrating the Speakeasy technology on the Motorola WT4090 wearable mobile device at the National Retail Federation Annual Convention & Expo.
