Solution improves customer satisfaction for as little as one-fiftieth of the cost of competitive high-end Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) solutions.



Huntsville, Ala., and EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J.-January 7, 2010-Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, and Aumtech, a leader in Speech and Computer Telephony Integration, today announced a partner relationship between the companies. Asterisk users now have a high-quality, low-cost Speech alternative, featuring server-based licenses that support 48+ ports of Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) for less than the cost of one or two competitive ASR licenses.

Aumtech's unique and proven solution provides 48+ ports of multi-language, high-quality Speech Recognition for the Asterisk platform with support for $1,975-a very attractive price per port. Customers requiring ASR in their applications have had to settle for either low-cost or low-quality products, or have had to pay a high price for high-quality Speech licenses until now. Users can now support an entire ASR server with 8, 24, or 48+ high-quality ASR licenses for a first-year cost of just $1,975 and $1,275 annually thereafter, improving customer satisfaction for as little as one-fiftieth of the cost of competitive high-end ASR solutions.
Today, Aumtech provides proven Speech technology from Microsoft (which has been successfully deployed at major airlines, manufacturers, government and service enterprises), along with Aumtech's MRCP Connector technology to "connect" Asterisk installations with the Microsoft ASR engine via the industry standard protocol missing in the native Microsoft ASR engine. Aumtech also offers professional services, such as application development, as well as integrated solutions and tools to assist in delivering turnkey solutions.
"We are very pleased to provide this significant value in high quality Speech Recognition to Digium's customer base, while introducing our Speech solutions to the Asterisk world, and opening the door to Speech solutions for the largest and smallest of Asterisk users," said Tom Porter, executive vice president at Aumtech. "We have developed a special program for Asterisk users to try this solution firsthand, so they can compare the quality of this high-value solution to those that cost $1,500 per port," he added.
