Sneak peak: speech to text technology
Dave Grannan CEO, and Mike Phillips, CTO, of a new company that’ll come out this fall give us a sneak peak at technology that’ll come to cell phones that’ll let you talk with them. The company is code-named Mobeus (they don’t have a Web site yet). They are funded by Charles River Ventures, and we’ll bring you more news as they get their product ready for market.

Scoble — you missed the bet — you let them get away with spouting PR-speak!

Will it be the technology that revolutionizes how we do, well, just about everything, or will it be another Chia Pet? I really want to know what all of YOU think about this. […]

[…] As explained in this video, Mobeus follows the network-based model in the sense that the cell phone contains a small ‘client’ that performs the voice capture (end-pointing, compression, etc.), which then processes the utterance on a network of powerful servers and then returns the results back to the client. This is a similar play to what AT&T has been offering its wireless subscribers as the #121 service (aka “Voice Info”) which is basically a shortcut into Tellme’s services. […]
