Datalogic announces the availability of the vo-CE® software suite for its Windows-based range of mobile computersBologna, December 4, 2006 - Datalogic has provided its Datalogic Jet™ PDA and Kyman-Net™ mobile computer with voice technology support via the vo-CE software suite, powered by Nuance speech engines, a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions for business and consumers. This solution enables Datalogic's mobile computers to be used now with any data capture technology: laser scanner (barcodes, RFID, imaging), data entry via keyboard, and voice.
With vo-CE technology, warehouse management systems that use Datalogic's Windows-based mobile computers can be easily and quickly equipped with automatic speech recognition (ASR), and the transformation of text-based strings into speech (TTS).With this new software application, activities like picking and inventory can be considerably increased. Mobile computers with vo-CE enable operators to carry out picking activities in warehouses by voice commands: the operator receives picking instructions sent by the IT system without using hands which remain free for picking operations.vo-CE does not need middleware software or server and makes Datalogic's mobile computers multimodal.
To use Datalogic's mobile computers with voice recognition technology, all that is needed is a connection to a standard headset. The Datalogic Jet v5 is equipped with a standard jack connector, making it compatible with all the different headsets on the market, while the Kyman-Net needs a headset adapter also available from Datalogic.
