Now, speech technology has also made its way into the home with the introduction of Sophius, a fully voice- controlled oven from Indesit Company. The prototype of Sophius was presented by the company as its latest concept and makes use of Loquendo (News - Alert) TTS and Amuser, a multimedia solutions provider, to allow users to interact with the oven using their natural voice to command Sophius on the temperature and cooking time. For example, "Cook pizza at 180 degrees for 20 minutes."
