Anyone care to speculate on the implications for PERI? What's In Store For Oracle? Firm Plans New Databases, Interactive Software Date: 5/4/99 Author: Michele Hostetler Everything from interactive television software to a database that looks like a small refrigerator is what Oracle Corp. has in the works for 1999 and beyond. The database king recently unveiled some of its new technology at a conference for customers in San Diego. Some of these products will begin hitting the market this year. ... Another new Oracle technology involves making stock trading more vocal. Oracle has worked with Menlo Park, Calif.-based Nuance Communications Inc., a voice recognition firm, for the past year. People can talk to a database instead of typing on a keyboard or punching in numbers on their telephone. ''This is probably going to be a very big area in electronic commerce in the next two years,'' Jarvis said. Charles Schwab Corp. is using this to allow traders access to their accounts over the phone. They can sell and buy stock by simply telling the computer what to do. Software recognizes voice patterns to make the system secure.
