with remote applications and services, the company said. The support works with client devices running Pocket PC, Smartphone, Windows CE/NT/2000/XP, J2ME, BREW, and Symbian software platforms.
According to ScanSoft, its "X|mode" multimodal technology is based on a thin-client/server model that combines speech and mobile Internet technologies, including key standards such as VoiceXML and SALT. The support consists of the following components . . .
- X|mode Multimodal server -- a scalable multimodal application server that can operate in existing and next-generation wireless network infrastructures (e.g. GPRS, CDMA 1xRTT, EDGE and W-CDMA), and that is based on a state and modality management architecture that can seamlessly integrate voice and data infrastructures at the application server level.
- X|mode Multimodal client -- a small-footprint software plug-in that manages multimodal interactions between devices and the X|mode Server; it can be downloaded into the handset by the end user or pre-installed by the device manufacturer. The client supports: Symbian 6.1/7.0; Nokia Series 60; UIQ; Microsoft Pocket PC 2000/2002; Microsoft Pocket PC Phone Edition; Microsoft Smartphone 2002; J2ME; MIDP; 1.0/2.0; and BREW 1.0/2.0.
- X|mode Multimodal SDK -- an XML-based authoring suite for developing multimodal applications.
