Fonix and parvus to deliver embedded speech recognition applications

Salt Lake City, Utah — Fonix Corp. and parvus Corp. announced January 31 the signing of a collaborative agreement to promote mutual opportunities for implementing voice recognition technologies in embedded computer systems.

The relationship between Fonix, a provider of speech for wireless and mobile devices, and parvus, a hardware developer and systems integrator of embedded control solutions, enables Fonix technologies to be implemented in parvus customer hardware systems. Both companies have agreed to a joint marketing and sales effort to encourage adoption of Fonix/parvus offerings.

‘With the addition of Fonix solutions, we can now differentiate our offerings by providing a natural-user-interface, voice, to control a customer’s embedded system,’ said Tom Hogan, president of parvus. ‘We anticipate that this will be of interest to existing customers and distinguish parvus in new bids.’

‘parvus is delivering embedded systems into markets that are prime for speech,’ said Kurt W. Flygare, vp of Sales, Fonix. ‘Our agreement strategically links Fonix with a strong hardware developer to broaden our customer opportunities and extend the reach of our speech solutions. This collaboration will deliver speech to parvus’ embedded control systems that are already operable in the marketplace, thus driving additional revenue for both companies.’

parvus commonly serves customers in the avionics/aerospace, defense, factory automation, light industrial, medical, telecom and transportation fields. Fonix speech technologies have been integrated into mobile and wireless devices, PDAs, vehicle navigation systems, and cellular applications, as well as server systems, including unified messaging services, email readers, HTML Web readers, Web-based education courses, voice portals, and more.
