Voice World 2005 is Europe's voice business event. It addresses all the strategic issues of speech recognition, text-to-speech, voice verification, voice portals and v-commerce in Europe.

Voice World is where enterprises, telcos and the industry come together to do business.

Voice solutions are rapidly becoming a major part of the business strategies of any forward thinking organisation. A world-class conference featuring the most interesting issues facing the industry and case studies from pioneering users, is combined with a trade show where the latest products and services are showcased.

It will examine the challenges companies face when trying to develop a business case for voice, bringing together users, service providers, distributors, and developers; as well as the challenges companies face when integrating voice applications into existing infrastructure. Delegates can learn from peers, talk to the experts, and do business with the industry's leading suppliers.

By 2005, voice portal service revenues will reach $5 billion, with an additional $7 billion in incremental revenue being generated by service providers.

A study conducted in 2002 by The Kelsey Group revealed that, on average, companies are saving $1.02 million annually from their automated speech recognition (ASR) deployments. In other words, speech technologies continue to offer significant opportunities to world class solution providers when almost all other enterprise technology investment has been suspended.
