SVOX Opens Office in Auto Makers’ Backyard

Embedded speech processing specialist SVOX clearly believes that speech recognition may be a big part of any turnaround that could occur in the automotive industry. Stating that it shows commitment to growth, the company has established a new 30-person office in Ulm, Germany. CEO Martin Reber says that the staff will focus on development of embedded speech recognition and “speech dialog” systems. He expects the size of the Ulm-based team to double in the coming years as it takes advantage of opportunities to collaborate with firms like Audi, Daimler and Porsche on R&D efforts for speech processing in future models.
