Fonix Speech Voice Recognition Technology Featured in New Tom Clancy Video Game

Early reviews of the game’s control scheme have generated such comments as “more compelling than any control scheme we’ve seen in RTS (games), sports games, etc.... name your genre,” according to the review on GameSpy.com, and, “With the press of a button, you can order attacks, swap your vantage point, or commandeer control points...simply by talking—and it works,” a remark made by IGN.com in its Tom Clancy’s EndWar review.

“Ubisoft chose Fonix speech software for its convenient user interface, low memory and processing power requirements, and perhaps—most significantly—for its cross-platform availability. Having a cross-platform tool was very important to our development team,” commented Vincent Greco, Worldwide Technical Coordinator of Ubisoft. “Fonix VoiceIn provided us with a unique set of tools for game development across multiple platforms.”

“The results thus far have been tremendous,” continued Mr. Vincent Greco, Worldwide Technical Coordinator. “The voice command / voice recognition interface in EndWar greatly enhances user experience by allowing the user to effectively issue verbal commands across all of the game’s available platforms.”
