DataSea's Natural Language Inferencing Engine fuses structured and unstructured data sources, then leverages the power and precision of natural language and employs human-like reasoning to "connect the dots" among data points, allowing people to control and communicate with devices in a natural, human-friendly way, using simple English.

"VoxGirl" is the cheerful, efficient operator who connects Mobivox users to their friends and relatives a world away at the mention of their names. She is also Mobivox's speech-recognizing calling application, devised to make mobile VoIP friendly, painless and  mainstream. Users (often living far from their native lands) use VoxGirl's web interface to enter the names of the people they will call back home, or anywhere else, when they sign up.

Although the entered names and the spoken accents of callers are often quite foreign to English, English-only Voxgirl manages to turn these typed names into recognition grammars that work, even in noisy environments. How? Nitzan Shaer, Mobivox COO, will explain how his company's speech-enabled IVR, despite all the interface challenges of international callers, survives these rough conditions. Come learn what VoxGirl knows about speech and noise profiles, trained noise models, "voice tags" and vocabulary sizes. And hear about amazing feats of speech recognition.
