Lucent Adds Speech Recognition To Messaging (09/27/99, 4:24 p.m. ET) By David Drucker, InternetWeek Lucent Technologies on Monday added speech-recognition capabilities to its Intuity Audix unified messaging system. Lucent Voice Director will enable voice dialing and addressing of messages on the voice mail system, as well as access Intuity Audix's unified messaging features. Officials said the voice dialing and addressing will add significant ease of use to voice systems and take the load off of operators. They said it requires minimal setup, with a CD-ROM that automatically configures Voice Director into the Intuity Audix system, and that it requires little additional administration. The company said it will utilize the speech-recognition capability as it expands Intuity Audix's unified messaging features. The Intuity Audix system is primarily used for voice messaging, but is designed to handle and combine various communication forms. It lets users attach e-mail or faxes to voice messages, listen to speech translations of e-mail messages, and the speech-recognition capability can be used to forward attachments to other users. Lucent Voice Director is available and requires release 5.0 of the Intuity Audix system. Pricing for Lucent Voice Director is $3,000 per system for a 5,000-user directory, and $6,000 per system for a 20,000-user directory.
