Ottawa-based Avoca Semiconductor is launching its first product - a voice-enabled media search technology - in New York City.
The company, which designs voice-activated technology that allows users to search for digital music, videos and other home electronics, is unveiling its new product today at the annual IBM Speech Technology Day, and will be the only Canadian company demonstrating its product line at the event.
"It's very exciting to be part of this team," said Avoca president Iain Scott in a statement. "Our leadership in creating voice-enabled music systems has gained us a new level of recognition on the global stage."
Avoca is partnering with Michigan-based entertainment media distribution technology maker All Media Guide to design products which will enable users to more easily search their music and video libraries, beginning with digital music collections.
