元器件交易網(wǎng)訊 4月4日消息,據(jù)外媒報(bào)道,微軟剛推出Cortana語(yǔ)音助手,蘋(píng)果就宣布收購(gòu)了一家語(yǔ)音公司Novauris。蘋(píng)果希望該公司能將Siri帶進(jìn)一個(gè)新的水平。
為了實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)任務(wù),蘋(píng)果已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)向語(yǔ)音識(shí)別公司Novauris。
該公司是蘋(píng)果在2013年收購(gòu)的,但從未宣布。Novauris創(chuàng)辦于2002年3月,幾乎全部由Dragon Systems英國(guó)研發(fā)有限公司原班人馬組建而成。
蘋(píng)果已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)向Novauris以提高Siri語(yǔ)音識(shí)別。Novauris一直致力于大詞匯量的自動(dòng)語(yǔ)音識(shí)別,抓取信息存儲(chǔ)在移動(dòng)設(shè)備。Novauris科技的產(chǎn)品可以搜索手機(jī)聯(lián)系人列表、應(yīng)用程序、音樂(lè)和導(dǎo)航。它還可以在應(yīng)用商店搜索一個(gè)特定的應(yīng)用程序。
Novauris與Siri早已建立聯(lián)系。在2011年iPhone 4S推出以來(lái),就使用Nuance公司語(yǔ)音技術(shù),該公司被Dragon收購(gòu)。正如此前所說(shuō),Novauris員工來(lái)自Dragon英國(guó)研究公司?,F(xiàn)在,蘋(píng)果希望Siri可以不僅具有Google Now的功能,還要有微軟個(gè)人語(yǔ)音助手Cortana的功能。(元器件交易網(wǎng)董蕾 譯)
外媒原文如下:
Microsoft's unveiling of its own virtual personal assistant apparently has Apple working on ways to bring Siri to the next level. To help them with this task, Apple has turned to speech recognition firm Novauris Technologies. The latter was formed from the U.K. research arm of Dragon Systems, and Apple purchased the firm last year, although it never was announced.
Apple has turned to its acquisition to improve Siri's speech recognition. Novauris has been working on large vocabulary automatic speech recognition, to help snag information stored in a mobile device. Novauris Technology's products can search a phone's contacts list, apps, music, and navigation. It can also search inside the App Store for a specific app.
There already is a connection between Novauris and Siri. When Siri launched with the Apple iPhone 4s in 2011, it was powered by Nuance, which purchased Dragon. And as we said earlier, Novauris' staff came from Dragon's U.K. research arm. Now, Apple is hoping that Siri can be re-energized to not only take on Google Now, but also Cortana.
