Announcing the TalkWallet at CTIA Global Wireless 2001 in Las Vegas, Qpass promised the new product will enable telecommunications companies, wireless carriers and voice portal providers to offer their customers simple, secure and intuitive voice-activated buying via their mobile phones. Guadagno said voice applications such as the TalkWallet are exactly what is needed in a wireless arena hampered by difficult data interfaces. By integrating Nuance 7.0's natural language speech recognition engine and Nuance's voice authentication software with Qpass' commerce services, the companies offer a secure buying experience that they say will let consumers make purchases simply by speaking their requests in a natural, conversational manner. No PIN numbers, no punching key after key after key. It uses voice authentication, and you can set up passwords.
