We know how!

Speech control, intuitive human-computer interaction, smartphones as personal digital assistants – what is considered as important new technologies for the near future, is something we work on every day here at SemVox. How so? Because our team has gathered years of experience in the area of human-computer interaction during our studies and while working at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH). As a consequence, our team at SemVox has gained insight into a variety of aspects in the areas of human-computer interaction and speech technology such as semantic dialog processing, web-based services, speech recognition, speech synthesis and multimodal user interfaces for mobile devices.

Because we are so close to the research, we are able to incorporate the most recent findings in the areas of artificial intelligence and software engineering into our work. That way, we are able to transfer a piece of the future via our products to you.

If you would like to know more about the technology behind our products, we would like to refer you to some of the scientific publications of our team. Even more publications can be found under references.
