A predictive text personal computer simplified keyboard with word and phrase auto-completion. It has a smaller keypad with each key representing several letters/characters so that only 9 keys are required to represent the entire alphabet of 26 characters. It also has screens and selection buttons which, when combined with predictive text input software such as the T9 dictionary from Tegic Communications, Inc. (www.t9.com), enables the user to type just a few keys to have entire words or phrases automatically typed into their document, thus saving typing time and avoiding the frustration of hunting for characters across a keyboard. It also offers language translation and speech capabilities, both enhanced by predictive text auto-completion.

Passive voice enabled RFID devices. The passive voice enabled RFID devices include a power harvesting circuit that converts natural and artificial energy sources to voltage and current to power the device, thus, the device does not require a battery. It provides a voice capable RFID device with a power harvesting circuit that is powered by harvesting energy from various artificial or energy sources and/or natural energy sources such as: voice signals, other electromagnetic waves, sun light, vibrations, RF noise, etc. and used voice signals received to uniquely identify a generator of the voice signals or other sound signals.

At design time of a graphical user interface (GUI), a software component (VUIcontroller) is added to the GUI. At run time of the GUI, the VUIcontroller analyzes the GUI from within a process that executes the GUI. From this analysis, the VUIcontroller automatically generates a voice command set, such as a speech-recognition grammar, that corresponds to controls of the GUI. The generated voice command set is made available to a speech recognition engine, thereby speech-enabling the GUI. Optionally, a GUI designer may add properties to ones of the GUI controls at GUI design time, without necessarily writing a voice command set. These properties, if specified, are then used at GUI run time to control or influence the analysis of the GUI and the automatic generation of the voice command set.

A communication system, method and communication terminal are configured to facilitate private outputting of content of a message or communication session. A communication terminal can be configured via data included in a message or via a privacy setting to output content of data from a communication session or message in accordance with a pre-selected privacy setting or one or more privacy rules. For instance, a communication terminal may be configured to suppress a text to speech function for certain text messages, email messages, instant messages, or social networking messages that it receives having the privacy parameter set therein. As another example, a user may set the privacy parameter in his or her terminal so that any such message received by that terminal is output in accordance with the privacy setting or rules. A detection of nearby people can affect how certain content may be output via a terminal.

An interactive voice response system has speak-ahead capabilities similar to type-ahead IVR systems by determining multi-level grammars for responses. Preferably, an existing IVR application is processed automatically to generate a multi-level grammar database that can then be used in recognizing multi-level responses by a user.

A mobile communication terminal having a hands-free speech state, in which a speech function and one of the other functions, such as a browsing information function on the Internet and an e-mail transmitting or receiving function, can be operated simultaneously, by not interrupting the speech function and by not using an earphone-microphone, is provided. The mobile communication terminal having the hands-free speech state provides a controlling section that controls each section in the mobile communication terminal having the hands-free speech state, a memory that stores data and a computer program, an operating section that a user executes a key input, a displaying section on which information is displayed, a speaker that outputs sound, and a microphone to which the user inputs his/her voice. And in case that the one of the functions except the speech function is used during the speech state, the speech state is automatically switched over to the hands-free speech state, by the operation of the controlling section, and the one of the functions is executed with the speech function simultaneously.

A mobile communication terminal having a phonebook replays a stored message when an entry of the phonebook is selected using a speed dial number and the stored message is associated with the selected phonebook entry. The message may be the spoken name of the person associated with the selected phonebook entry thereby enabling the terminal user to have an audio confirmation of the party being called. The message may be recorded by the terminal microphone or may be captured from a connected call. Alternatively the message may be a text message that is synthesized to a voice message by a text-to-speech function.

A hand held device acquires GPS data and connects to an Internet based remote server that uses Internet resources to obtain the location of the user and places the user in a local map which may be in a foreign country. The user may enter a particular location of interest and the hand held device communicates this request to the remote server and performs an Internet search for service providers, and provides phrases most commonly associated with the type of service provider. When a text is typed in a text box, the remote server uses Internet based translators and the community of other users of the App to translate the text into local language according to GPS or other location positioning data. The remote server uses speech features of the translator software to create and send a sound file to the hand held device. Both translated text in the local language and speech patterns enable communication with a local person. Additionally the App allows the user to learn a language through repetition, association and testing.

A method is disclosed for generating test scripts for testing an IVR from an IVR's voice-capable markup language application. The test scripts can be generated directly from the voice-capable markup language application, from a product which provides a graphical representation of the IVR from the IVR's voice-capable markup language application, or a grid can be used to represent the tags within the voice-capable markup language application and a test script generated from the grid. Additionally, a virtual telephone caller system is provided to test the IVR of a contact center, wherein the virtual telephone caller system operates with voice-capable markup language software scripts.

A high-sound-quality speech function is implemented in a small-sized wireless terminal including inexpensive low-grade resources such as an inexpensive microprocessor and an inexpensive memory.

From data inputted to the terminal, a reproduction data sequence and identifying information defining reproduction timing to reproduce the reproduction data sequence are extracted. According to the identifying information, timing to output the reproduction data sequence to a Digital-to-analog (DA) converter is controlled. A sampling data sequence obtained by converting data inputted to the terminal from analog data to digital data is stored in a register. Depending on a difference between values of the sampling data, whether or not the sampling data is discarded is determined. A sequence of sampling data which is not discarded and which is stored in the register is recorded. Identifying information defining reproduction timing to reproduce the sampling data sequence and reproduction data are created to be outputted.
