ETRI GPS System Knows Your Voice

ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) just introduced a new voice-recognizing navigation system which will be available at the end of this month in Korea. What makes this differernt from the rest of the GPS systems in the market is the ability to recognize your voice using ‘FineDrive Bio’ technology courtesy of FineDigital. This new technology has a working vocabulary of 450,000 words – pretty much more than what I know, I reckon. There is the problem of the accuracy though – hopefully it won’t be as messed up as Brain Age’s “Blue” and “Yellow” speech segments.
