Press Release Summary: Camberley/London – September 2008 - The UK launch of the high
performance solution for speech controlled picking and data capture heralds the
start of the Thames Valley company, top-VOX UK, based in Camberley, Surrey. The
demands on such high-performance products are unrelenting. Logistics centres today
are all about action. The forklift’s motor, lifting trucks being driven around and
upset crates all combine to cause considerable background noise. Clearly, some Pick
by Voice solutions are not able to cope under such conditions. It is a different
story with the speaker-independent topSpeech-Lydia® system from leading European
system provider topsystem. The system is being offered exclusively by top-VOX UK in
the UK and the Commonwealth. Apart from sales, the company is also offering
implementation, project management and maintenance of the software and hardware. The
development of the noise resistant headset topSPEECH “NoiseMaster” signals the start
for the company of a noticeable performance boost for Pick by Voice technology. The
“NoiseMaster” reliably eliminates noise whatever the source. Totally in accord with
problem-free order picking.

for the company of a noticeable performance boost for Pick by Voice technology. The
“NoiseMaster” reliably eliminates noise whatever the source. Totally in accord with
problem-free order picking.

Pick by Voice applications must also function reliably in tough and loud warehouse
environments. Spoken commands and confirmations can be affected in this way by
ambient noise and even be partly distorted. Regular and constant statistic noises
can be filtered out easily with sophisticated software tools.

Nevertheless, it is the strong dynamic noises such as the crash of a falling pallet
that often interfere with optimal speech recognition.

Strengths Coming Into Play
Exactly in this area is where the strengths of “NoiseMaster” come into play.
Equipped with a new intelligent algorithm, the headset also succeeds in filtering
out these explosive dynamic noises. In order to achieve this it initially
differentiates between the noise of the working environment and the picker’s
commands. Subsequently, in a complex mathematical process, from signal processing
theory, the dynamic noises as well as high frequency, metallic, human speech or
similar background noise above 94 dB are removed and only the pure speech signal is
transmitted to the recognition module. This guarantees a high speech recognition
rate in real time independent of the surrounding background noise.
