Mons, Belgium – Creaceed today releases an iPhone speech recognition SDK for all developers who want to release original and distinctive applications on the App Store. Today, any developer secretly hopes to release a successful application millions iPhone/iPod Touch owners will download. There are many ways to attract potential users: low prices, YouTube movies, online ads, Twitter promotions, etc. Now, rather than applying discounted prices, they can opt for a still unused technology: speech recognition provided by Creaceed’s CeedVocal SDK.

What is CeedVocal SDK?
* Is a multi-locutor Automatic Speech Recognition SDK (no training required)
* Is based on the acoustic models developed by Creaceed in English, French, and German
* Provides a phonetizer which is sufficient for common words
* Is provided in the form of a static library with header files. The programming language of the SDK is Objective-C
* Recognizes isolated words from a user provided list of up to 5000 words
* Is optimized for fast launching
* Provides voice activity detection (VAD)
* Is provided as a Universal Binary library (ARM/Intel) for easier setup with iPhone Simulator

Examples
Creaceed used the technology from CeedVocal SDK to develop Vocalia, its voice dialing application available worldwide on the App Store. Moreover, a real example of how to integrate CeedVocal SDK into an iPhone app is available on Creaceed’s website.
