Mission Statement

Opus One Media develops and markets proprietary integrated enterprise platform for seamless communication between any email system and any telephonic device.


Why we are contacting you…

We think there is a technology fit. We think that what we are building is a

logical step in the Honda progression We present you with the opportunity to

supplement your product and create a profit center

We believe that Honda has the opportunity to build a social network into which it can market at low cost


Why we are contacting you…

We are making middleware/enterprise platforms that use speech/text software to seamlessly connect any micro phonic device that picks up a spoken word (including any phone –cell or not) to any digital text device or service(email, messengers, palms, cell keypad, pc’s).

Text to voice and voice to text –phone to computer/computer to phone, 23 languages, and unrestricted to the automobile….you can use the service anywhere with no additional hardware.


Mission Statement, continued

We meet our technology goals with partnerships with IBM Pervasive, ScanSoft™(now Nuance) Naturally Speaking and ByoBroadcast.Our speech to text accuracy rate is matches that of hospital/medical dictation.Voice to Text Conversions can occur in 23 common languages. Our system gets “smarter” the more you use it.


Mission Statement, continued

We believe that the Ford “SYNC™” offering is a laudable product that will gain wide acceptance. We suggest Honda would be well served to consider how our platform could be expanded to encompass virtually all communication possibilities.


The Product

The primary product is an electronic message packet.

There is voice-to-text conversion software in each packet that permits translation of any voice message into full text rendering, text translation to any of 23 common languages, and restoration into audio message format.

The messages work from any phone or voice equipped audio device (microphone, regular telephone, cell phone, messenger, and hand-helds).

Our Core Product / Audio-e-Mail™


The Product

Current Market –Technologies

Several firms offer audio or voice email packages. Nuance’s (formerly ScanSoft) Dragon Naturally Speaking is the technology leader. There are approximately 15 other companies similar to these (logos above) that offer some aspect of the technology.

http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/demos/# is the best comprehensive system currently available.


Customer Acquisition

It is too costly to building a community from the ground up unless there is a value proposition for membership (i.e. that there is a perceived incentive to become and remain a member/user). There are few examples that demonstrate individual “tool” acquisition viability. We have focused our marketing plan toward the acquisition of psycho-graphically appropriate groups.


Customer Acquisition and Retention

We do not think it viable to acquire customers on a direct response model. We estimated that the acquisition cost per customer to be nearly $40.00. Retention rates will be less than 6 months on average. All competition suffers from the utilization of this model. We abandoned it and resolved our marketing problems.


Going straight to the marketplace

this technology is usable outside the automobile environment (home, office, hotel – anywhere) it has a value and thus profit potential past the immediate application.

We wish to piggyback our technology into existing similar platforms.

We believe our market is in an established community or usage feature.


The start and “send” of the message are linked to the message log and to the billing cycle.

The packet is identified by sequential number created when the log in is established. Billing commences on the $/minute basis.

Message completion (send) is noted and when the message is opened and read is also noted. The “opened and read” function should be available to the user.

A feature would be auto-contact/confirm when the message is hear or read.

Outgoing messages

The voice-to-text text box runs in background as well. It is washed through the translation service. 23 languages are available

est maintenant l'heure pour tous les bons hommes de venir à l'aide de leur partie

Outgoing messages



A “real life” demonstration of this translation technology is viewable at:

http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html. Please note that Scansoft products offer degrees of this technology as part of their main product offering.

In English:

now is the time for all good men to come to the aide of their party

In German:

ist jetzt die Zeit für alle guten Männer, zum Adjutanten ihres Beteiligten zu kommen

Outgoing messages



If the translation is completed in “text” it is then a simple issue to have the “text” read to the recipient as the “text to voice” computer voice is superb. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-voice/

Figure 1. Workings of a speech application

Another very important aspect of speech application is grammar. A grammar is an object in the JSAPI that controls the recognition process by telling the speaker what words they're expected to say and the patterns in which these words may occur. The biggest advantage of a grammar file is that it makes the recognition faster and more accurate. A sample grammar file is below.

Sample grammar filegrammar javax.speech.demo; public <sentence> = Welcome | Hello | IBM | ViaVoice | Java | Good Job | Thank you very much | GoodBye;

You can add more words or sentences to the grammar file. Note that each word or sentence is separated by the "|" character.

Outgoing messages



Outgoing summary:

Byobroadcast – audio to internet technology utilized in their audioemail application is the skeleton on which various components of the Websphere CRM tools and the IBM Java Speech API are hung.

Using purely voice commands and logical question – response structures including adherence to a well tested and refined set of logical interactions, our goal is to permit the addressing and composing of a 150 word email that can arrive in a number of languages and texts with a single message elapsed time (without correction and assuming normal speech rates) of 1 minute.

Outgoing messages


Functionality

By selecting the “check mail” function, the user is started in the sequence to connect to his “inbox”. If he has signed in previously, he will be asked again for his password (security)


Functionality

This prompt opens your mailbox. The “title areas”

Sender and Subject are easily read through the technology. The user is then prompted to say:

Next message, read message, reply to message, end


Functionality

As the first item in the box is announced by sender and subject you may say NEXT MESSAGE, which ends that line and moves you to the following message. The system will also accept “next” and “skip”


Functionality

If you wish to “hear” a message you say “read message”. IBM text to voice technology merely scan reads the content.

From: [email protected]

To: [email protected]

Subject: Harold House (OpusOne) will be calling in

Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 13:26:34 -0400 When: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 9:30 AM Where: Your office

973.496.3442


Functionality

At any time during the reading of the message you may say:

Next message, reply to message, or end.

REPLY TO MESSAGE is a voice over-ride command that simply reverses the “to and from” boxes and you simply compose your “response” in an audio message as if you were sending a new message. The outgoing “reply” is treated then as if it were a newly composed message.

From: [email protected]

To: [email protected]

Subject: Harold House (OpusOne) will be calling in

Message: your audio message


Functionality

If end is selected, then you will be asked if you want to:

1. Close the Inbox

2. Compose an Email

3. End the Session

You have signed out of the Network. Your time of use was 8 minutes.

You sent 6 messages and read 5 messages in your mailbox


Social Networking

• The system can be used with equal fluidity in a car or from a PC, on a handheld or a regular home phone – anywhere there is a microphonic device.

• It utilizes email address books from home, office, company or “newly created”.

• It creates instant “networks” of Honda owners connected to non-Honda owners.

• The entire platform can be branded to keep the Honda name in the forefront of all communication.


The pipeline…

The technology is easily adapted to other applications without changing the basic configuration.

Translation phones and payphones Satellite Radio or Dish Network email reception Emergency notification platforms Interactive storybooks, plays, learning tools

Opening discussions and advisories have been made to Satellite Radio Dish Network Technologies Telephony Networks Homeland Security
