Colligo Corporation
Making books navigable through voice commands

Colligo creates content exclusively for the blind, such as Talking Books on CD-ROM, which allow users to navigate through stories by clicking on-screen buttons. They are stepping up their delivery by taking advantage of the latest text-to-speech playback technology that allows navigation through voice commands via the telephone.
Now their users can say voice commands, such as "next paragraph," "jump back," or "spell that.", even ask for their location in the book by asking "where am I?". Voice Web Solutions developed a voice portal for reading books using three classics - The Wizard of Oz, Tarzan of the Apes and The Red Badge of Courage. Using VANGUARD Player to power the book reading, the book voice portal has made literature more accessible to the blind community and offered a glimpse into the possibilities of voice technology.

Speech Technology Magazine
Providing speech technology those who cover it

Speech Technology Magazine is the premier publication for news in the industry - but their content is not yet accessible via the technology they cover. Voice Web Solutions built a prototype to show readers how they might experience content in a new way using VANGUARD. They chose an article about government agencies seeking innovative ways to become Section 508 compliant - and made it accessible via a text-to-speech demo. The demo showed first-hand how readers could navigate news articles using simple voice commands such as "skip" and "repeat."
