Voice recognition applications / environments include:

• Stock located in hard to reach locations
• Shrink wrapped pallets / products
• Freezer rooms where heavy gloves are required
• Recording stock that requires both hands to handle
• Hard to reach stock situations, where standard laser scanners cannot accurately read barcodes
• Receiving

Scan goods-in using the Symbol CRS-1 cordless ring scanner, then speak quantities and hear putaway locations - totally two handed and eyes free goods handling movement.

Re-labeling

Speak a product description and immediately print a label from a portable printer. Ideal for unlabeled or mislabeled goods

Stocktakes

Scan location or product barcodes and speak the quantity (and location if desired, totally eliminating scanning) with any error messages heard immediately.

Working within block stacking locations

Block stack locations can rarely be labeled, but with voice you need only speak an identifier for that location to maintain your goods movement control.

Voice Picking

Use voice to identify locations in situations where barcodes or keying data won't work, such as high-rise racking, refrigerated environments, direct sunlight or shrink wrapped packages.

Non labeled data collection

Speak weights, sizes, licence plates and other data which is simply not available in a scannable format.

Peacocks MD&B's voice to text and text to voice solutions differentiate themselves from any existing packaged solution by its immense adaptability, it does not require a separate speech server and does not use pre-defined templates for it's applications. The solution's API (Application Programming Interface) can be called by your own pre-existing application to enable text to speech or speech to text when and where you require, making it possible to completely tailor a solution to your in-house processes.
