Wavelink Speakeasy – Three Features You Should Get to Know
When we released Wavelink Speakeasy, a quick and easy voice-enabling platform, we were excited. Speakeasy delivers the ability to voice-enable a wide range of existing mobile applications including Wavelink TE and other device resident applications, such as .NET and Web-based applications. This is a product we know will reduce operational costs, increase picking accuracy and enhance safety on the factory floor.
One of the real strengths and unique features of Speakeasy is its multi-modal data input capabilities. Unlike some other voice solutions out there, we do not require our customers to go 100% voice input. In fact, we believe that there are times when voice input is best, times when scanned input is best, and times when key input is best. The art of developing a sustainable voice solution is finding the optimal mix of voice, scanning, and key input for the given implementation.
As we continue to work diligently on Wavelink Speakeasy, we are listening to all of our customers who are out there using it. Based on some of the recent feedback, we have improved the voice calibration tool in Speakeasy, which makes it easier to configure Speakeasy to the particular user and their environment. The improvements include a voice recorder that allows a recording of a user’s voice to be analyzed for advanced configuration and troubleshooting.
One of the lesser known, yet significant, features in Speakeasy is the ability for end-users to adjust the volume and cadence of the incoming speech commands on demand. A user can simply do this by speaking into the microphone, thereby adding further hands-free capability to Speakeasy. If a user needs the volume louder, they can simply say ‘volume louder’ until the volume reaches the level they desire. Likewise, if a user needs the text-to-speech voice to speak slower, they can decrease the cadence by saying ‘speak slower’ until the voice reaches the desired cadence.
For more information on Speakeasy, please contact your Wavelink sales representative.

Wavelink Speakeasy Feature Highlight – The Screen Reformatter
As we discussed in the last issue of the Connection, Terminal Emulation (TE) 7.1 included a new feature called the Screen Reformatter, a tool that allows administrators to edit terminal emulation screens using a WYSIWYG screen editor tool. This new tool unlocked the previously unavailable potential for customizations and optimizations within TE.
In late Summer/early Fall 2009, Wavelink plans to release Wavelink TE 7.2. Amongst several noticeable upgrades, this release will feature the second generation Screen Reformatter, which has now become a standalone tool. The Screen Reformatter can now be used without Avalanche and will allow administrators to implement Speakeasy without the use of scripting. These two additions will mean that the already short implementation cycle of Speakeasy will speed up even more significantly.
As it becomes available, more information on the Screen Reformatter will be made available on the Emulators product page. You can also find the Wavelink Telnet Client Screen Reformatter Reference Guide on the Support Documentation page.
