Talkhouse Debuts Speech Retrieval Technology In Desktop Music Player
Free Trial Version Available at www.talkhouse.comWatertown, MA - March 27, 2007 - Talkhouse, LLC, the developer of voice-activated music retrieval technology, announced today the launch of their new website and the availability of the Talkhouse(tm) Voice Activated Music Player. A trial version of the desktop application can now be downloaded for free at www.talkhouse.com.
Created to eliminate the need to scroll, click or type in order to locate and organize digital music files, Talkhouse's Voice Activated Music Player allows users to simply press a button, then say what they want to hear. The application supports Windows XP or Vista, Mac 10.48+ or Linux and accepts all major music formats including Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WMA, MP3, M4a and M4p.
Talkhouse was created in 2006 by Joe Wölfel and Jill Lehman, who found that the bigger their music collection got, the harder it was to find the files they wanted to play.
"Explosive growth in personal digital music collections has created a demand for a better way to search and organize it," said co-founder, Joe Wölfel, who has extensive experience with speech recognition technology from his previous work at Dragon Systems. "The places where music is most enjoyed - at home, in the car or at the gym - aren't always the best places to fumble around with a click wheel."
The innovative Talkhouse speech retrieval technology moves beyond classic voice recognition by incorporating the user-friendliness of an Internet search engine, making finding digital music fast, easy and fun.
"Talkhouse's speech retrieval technology is very impressive and works better than other voice activated programs available," said Lloyd Starr, music enthusiast and VP of User Interface Development for Beatport.com. "You don't have to use exact phrases or commands to get what you want."
Currently, the Talkhouse speech retrieval technology is only available on the company's desktop music player.
