CTIA: TravellingWave Ashwin Rao
Rating: multi-modal arrives
by Bena Roberts
My first briefing of the day was with a small company a few years old focused on a multi-modal user interface. Basically you can use text input or speech to write text messages and the service is works with all voices at all times regardless of back ground noise.
The service from TavellingWave sounded too good to be true when CEO and Founder Ashwin Rao spoke to me about it. When I tried it also didn’t work very well.
I have huge reservations about voice and I wasn’t surprised …. But it’s still very early days.
But despite that I had a great briefing with TravellingWave and I can see where the company is heading. Multi-modal is the future and talk of speed, ease and accuracy essential for the future of the mobile interface. The company are angle funded, insightful and even though it didn’t work brilliantly it did have its moments.
