LumenVox Power Kit is a fully-integrated speech solution for open source Asterisk and Asterisk Business Edition. It uses the LumenVox Speech Engine that performs speech recognition on audio data from any audio source, and allows for dynamic language, grammar, audio format, and logging capabilities.

The LumenVox Power Kit is directly and seamlessly integrated with the Asterisk platform and Dial Plan through the unique Asterisk Connector Bridge. Now application developers can easily build speech-enabled IVR's by using the familiar Dial Plan scripting language or the C-API.

Kit Includes:

Five (5) LumenVox Speech Engine Lite ports
One (1) LumenVox Speech Tuner
Digium Asterisk Connector Bridge
One full day of LumenVox training in sunny San Diego or via webinar

The LumenVox Speech Engine is speaker and hardware independent, supports industry standards such as SRGS and Semantic Interpretation, and includes highly efficient barge-in and noise reduction technology for better performance in challenging environments.

The LumenVox Speech Engine is the core technology that handles the "recognition" of words and phrases. It is speaker-independent and does not require any special training. The engine relies on Grammars, which are a list of expected words or phrases that a caller might speak, to successfully recognize words. For example, a Call Router/Auto Attendant at a company will have all the names of the employees and perhaps "Sales" and "Support" loaded into the list of grammars.

Supported distributions include Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 4, rPath Linux, RedHat ES, and CentOS (through Red Hat build).
