Silicon Valley done it again by Claudia Sonea

The need of communicating has been bursting out since the cell phones were invented. Moreover, it's not about a need anymore, now the brand and the applications matters. When you buy a mobile phone you have to consider the camera, the infrared or Bluetooth, if it has MP 3 or MP 4, radio, etc. Of course another important accessory is the Bluetooth headsets, which have been a success story, although sometimes the small earpieces, that make people so funny because they talk into thin air when they actually talk to their mobiles, are extremely difficult to use. Why they are so hard to use? Well, the tiny buttons without any label that states to what purpose they serve might be one of the issues. So it's quite annoying to pair it or connect it because it communicates to the user with a single indicator light. Silicon Valley Company Sensory Inc. is very thoughtful and therefore we now have a smoother way to control the Bluetooth handset. For the first time an AP reporter revealed how we can pair a headset with the phone by pressing a button and giving a vocal command. It is obvious that the product was created by men; the pair confirmation is made with a friendly female voice. If you want to answer you could either say yes or no, depending on the person that is calling, if you want to talk or not with him/her. The product uses speech synthesis and recognition chips that are used in toys and other gadgets, but the difference is that nothing is introduced in the device. British company that is a leading supplier of designs for Bluetooth chips created an add-on blueprint for Bluetooth chips. Todd Mozer, Sensory's chief executive informs us that there are other options like speech recognition and it will not cost too much. Still you have to pay attention not to talk to radio or around someone else that uses a mobile phone. Could I afford such a device? Don't go away soon will follow the price such a wonder has.
