Amazon Gets Into Voice Recognition, Buys Ivona Software To ...

Amazon today announced that it is acquiring Ivona Software, a Polish-based specialist in voice technologies that competes with Nuance and is already used in the Kindle Fire for services covering text-to-speech, voice commands and ?Explore by Touch.? The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The move is significant for a couple of reasons. First, it shows that Amazon is looking to enhance its features and functionality on its devices, moving ever further away from pared-down, cheaper hardware to compete better against products like the iPad and higher-spec tablets from the likes of Samsung.

Second, it paves the way for Amazon to do more in hardware beyond tablets. Specifically, adding voice services points further to a mobile handset/smartphone, as many have suspected Amazon would eventually launch. No comment on a phone specifically in today?s statements, but an intentionally vague reference to future products that is sure to send imaginations racing:

?IVONA?s exceptional text-to-speech technology leads the industry in natural voice quality, accuracy and ease of use. IVONA is already instrumental in helping us deliver excellent accessibility features on Kindle Fire, including Text-to-Speech, Voice Guide and Explore by Touch,? said Dave Limp, Vice President, Amazon Kindle, in a statement. ?The IVONA team shares our passion for innovation and customer obsession, and we?look forward to building great products to deliver world-class voice solutions to customers around the world.?

Although Amazon?s use of voice recognition today isn?t as highlighted and center-stage as Siri is in Apple?s iOS, it?s nevertheless an important part of the company?s business proposition, since a cornerstone of Amazon?s content is based in reading and ?reading? in different formats, like audiobooks. Here is what one of the voice features looks like currently on the Kindle Fire:

Ivona?s products, the company says, are already available for 44 voices in 17 languages ?and more in development?, which points to how Amazon can use the technology to underpin its international ambitions. Over the last year, the company has been ramping up products and Kindle stores for countries outside of the U.S., including finally launching the Kindle Fire tablets internationally.

What?s still unclear is how Ivona?s existing business will develop. We?re contacting Ivona to ask the question and will update as we learn more, but currently, Ivona works with other organizations and businesses, to provide voice recognition, and it has also made a big push on growing its developer ecosystem. Unless Amazon decides to take Ivona in-house completely, and use its tech exclusively in its own products, this presents a couple of opportunities.

It could see Amazon offering out the speech recognition capability in the form of an API, something that Apple has yet to do with Siri, for developers to use in their apps for the Kindle Fire and other platforms. (Amazon is doing a lot to court developers and continues to extend the ways in which to link them into its own platform.)

Ivona could potentially also get used by Amazon in its wider suite of enterprise, cloud-based services, which also includes hosting and other data management via Amazon Web Services.

Update: An Amazon spokesperson had this to say, confirming that Ivona will continue to work with third parties, meaning that this provides another bridge out for Amazon both to enterprise cloud services as well as to developers, specifically in the area of voice recognition: ?Yes ? IVONA will continue to provide voice solutions for our Kindle Fire tablets (text-to-speech, voice guide, explore-by-touch) and also continue to distribute their products and services to developers, businesses and customers around the world.?

No-frills travel gains business credibility - Procurement Leaders

Greener and cheaper airlines are providing a viable lever against rising business travel costs.

Integrating more low-cost flights into companies? travel schedules for their managers and employees could clearly work in favour for many organisations.

?

As highlighted in a recent Procurement Leaders category report, using low-cost carriers for business travel on intercontinental flights would help the environment and lead to cost savings at a time when fuel prices are pushing up prices.

?

This would require a dramatic cultural change within organisations, since managers, and especially senior managers, have to scale down their expectations. Most of the time of category managers responsible for air travel is spent on conducting conversations with internal stakeholders regarding their travel preferences, which illustrates how tough it already is to convince managers and employees. According to one category director working in a professional service company, up to 80% of her time is spent on those kinds of interaction. ?

?

According to a report conducted by Brighter Planet in 2011, among the world?s 20 largest airlines Ryanair emerged the most fuel-efficient and therefore the greenest one.

?

To assess the fuel efficiency of the airlines, Brighter Planet takes five variables into account: Aircraft fuel economy, passenger load factor, seat density, freight share and flight distance. There were huge differences among the selected carriers. For example, to transport its average passenger mile, Ryanair uses roughly one-third of the fuel American Eagle does over the same passenger distance (American Eagle was ranked the last).

?

With EasyJet coming off third in the ranking two of the top three were low-cost carriers. ?It shows that especially no-frills airlines can offer the most carbon-efficient flights. Ryanair, as well as EasyJet has constantly achieved high passenger load factors in the recent years. A higher passenger load factor combined with higher seat density than other full-service airlines allow these carriers to transport more passengers over the same distance and with the same amount of fuel.

?

Members with access to category reports can find the full report into air travel here.

NTT DoCoMo announces 12 new mobile devices for the spring, launches Smart Home initiative

Change of season? You can bet NTT DoCoMo has an armload of new devices to announce -- it's almost a tradition. This time around, the Japanese carrier has revealed 10 new smartphones, two tablets and a mobile WiFi hotspot. Large, 4.5 to 5-inch displays and quad-core processors pepper the entire spring smartphone line, but there are a few notable standouts, including the previously leaked LG Optimus G Pro, Huawei's Ascend D2 and the NEC Medias W -- a curious dual-screen smartphone we first saw at MWC 2012. DoCoMo fills its tablet quota with the Sony Xperia Tablet Z and a carrier branded device called the dtab, a 10.1-inch WiFi slab apparently built for DoCoMo's Smart Home initiative. Don't let the name run away with your imagination -- the Japanese carrier is focusing on sharing music, video and digital content between smartphones and other home electronics, not automating your apartment.

The dtab is compatible with a handful of carrier exclusive services, such as the dmarket and DoCoMo cloud. It's not technically part of the carrier's mobile line, but DoCoMo had one more announcement for spring: an HDMI dongle. The SmartTV dstick gives HDTVs access to the carrier's dvideo, danime store and dhits services, and can be controlled with via smartphone or a similarly named tablet. Spring hardware will start hitting Japan on January 25th with the Aquos Phone EX, and continue to roll out through March. Read on for the official press release.

Update: Apparently, we're looking at a different Ascend D2 than the one we saw at CES, one with a smaller screen (4.7-inch 720p vs. 5-inch 1080p) and battery (2150mAh vs. 3000mAh).

Debt, guns, immigration top Obama's agenda

Robin Buckson / AP

The president's first four years at the White House in pictures.

By Michael O'Brien, Political Reporter, NBC News

?

Just 11 weeks removed from a sweeping re-election victory, President Barack Obama has hit the ground running with an ambitious second-term agenda that includes tackling the mounting national debt, immigration and gun control.

But the window in which the president has any hopes of meeting his aggressive goals has already begun to close.

Confronting the fading effectiveness of a second-term presidency, dogged opposition from Republicans in Congress and unexpected hurdles that will inevitably arise over the next four years, Obama must act with a sense of urgency on his plans, particularly amid the fiscal cliff negotiations.

?Second-term presidents generally get eight months or so ... where there's a honeymoon to push an agenda,? said James Thurber, the director of Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University. ?He doesn't even have a month.?

Newly armed with ?Organizing for Action? ? the remnants of the president?s campaign structure, converted to a nonprofit for advocacy purposes ? Obama has suggested he will indeed act quickly on his top priorities.

But the next few months might well test the limits of the political capital that the president won in November, which saw Obama score a decisive victory over Republican opponent Mitt Romney and Democrats add seats in the House and the Senate.

If this past December?s lame duck Congress ? in which Obama won higher tax rates for the wealthy, but only after a bitter fight with Republicans ? offers any lessons, it?s that the GOP is equally committed to pursuing its own priorities, making compromise just as elusive as before.

The fiscal cliff fight will extend into this spring, when the government hits a series of major deadlines to keep the government funded and prevent a default on the national debt. That bare-knuckled fight could make or break Obama?s hopes of accomplishing much else on his agenda.

?I don't believe that he can wait until the last minute to deal with the debt ceiling and sequestration,? said Martin Frost, a former Democratic congressman from Texas. ?That's got to be worked out during February.?

That fight would threaten to consume much of the political oxygen in Washington in any normal year. And Obama?s ability to pivot toward his other major priorities, gun violence and immigration, may well hinge upon how quickly and cleanly he can dispense with this spring?s spending fight.

TODAY's Lester Holt reports from Washington D.C. on how the struggles and victories of President Obama's first term have set the stage for opportunities of the second.

History suggests that many presidents cannot hope to accomplish much in the last two years of their term, when the jockeying for the next presidential campaign begins. And with midterm elections looming in 2014, lawmakers will inevitably turn at some point from governing to politicking.

"There's kind of an arc of achievement in presidential administrations. Usually the first few months of a new administration is where most of the accomplishment takes place," said Ross Baker, a presidential historian at Rutgers University. "It's hard to imagine getting another piece of legislation of the magnitude of the Affordable Care Act in the second term."

And Obama?s hopes of significant reforms to immigration and gun laws might well depend upon how well (or how poorly) the spending fight with Congress proceeds.

The president last week laid out a series of measures intended to curb gun violence, most significantly proposals to limit the size of ammunition magazines, ban assault weapons and require universal background checks on firearm purchases. That plan won little praise from Republicans, and Obama might have to lean upon any reservoir of goodwill he has left after the spending fight to reach his goals.

Obama is practically obligated to attempt immigration reform after soothing the Latino community during last year?s election about his inability to follow through with a pledge to accomplish immigration reform in his first term. If re-elected, Obama told Hispanic voters, he would make immigration reform a priority in this second term.

Both proposals could engender significant Republican resistance, a phenomenon familiar to any observers of Obama?s first four years in office.

Another significant ? and unpredictable ? variable that could ruin even the best-laid plans involves the unknown crises that will inevitably arise during Obama?s second term.

The "Meet the Press" moderator looks ahead to Monday's inaugural address, predicting President Obama will discuss economic relief and how he'll tackle America's toughest issues in a divided political atmosphere that's still "toxic" for the White House.

A foreign policy crisis could always erupt and consume the president?s attention. Uprisings in Egypt, Libya and Syria, for instance, proved to major developments during Obama?s first four years in office.

If anything, the president?s first term offered a cautionary tale of how difficult it can be to navigate the obstacles to success that can arise.

The president nearly saw his signature health reform law go down to defeat after the advent of the Tea Party movement, for instance.

And external events ? a near-meltdown of the economy, mass shootings, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and other crises ? consumed as much of the president?s first term as anything else.

Just as foreign policy could prove to be a diversion from policy making, it?s one of the few policy areas where a lame-duck president can leave a legacy.

For instance, Bill Clinton, in the waning days of his presidency, concentrated on achieving an elusive peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians.

?He's got a whole range of things on his plate right now,? Frost said of Obama, ?it just really depends on how he prioritizes things.?

FREE Surf Training Video: Watch To Learn The Best Surf Exercises To Triple Your Wave Count & Enhance Your Surfing Performance Using the ?New Science? Of Surf Fitness Training

. ?I started the Total Surfing Fitness program exactly 12 weeks prior to my 1st overseas surfing trip to Bali in the hope of increasing my confidence and ability in the water.

I?m a 37y/o and been surfing for 15 years. I spend 8 hours a day at a computer and have a 3 hrs a day commuting to work in Sydney. I also have a young family, so keeping fit is a real challenge.

I found the TSF program suited my needs exactly. I was able to adopt and adapt the program with ease. I did the workouts on average 2-3 times a week and progressed through level 1, 2 and 3 gaining more and more strength and flexibility as I went. I particularly enjoyed the stretching part of the program and noticed a marked improvement flexibility and agility.

My trip to Bali was awesome. I surfed 2-3 times a day for 17 days straight and was confident in 2-8? Impossibles, Ulluwatu, Balangan, Shipwrecks, Lacerations, Airport lefts and Kuta Reef without injury. I believe this would have been inconceivable without Total Surfing Fitness. I do not hesitate to recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their surfing fitness.?

Are you tired of watching those surfers who just cruise by continuously, catching wave after wave, getting barrel after barrel? and basically making you look bad?

And are you sick of having arms like jelly after only a few minutes of paddling and then struggling to stand up because you don?t have enough strength left in your arms to push yourself up?

Or maybe you are just fed up with not being as good a surfer as you want to be, but you don?t know what to do next to improve?

I am going to reveal a 5 step blueprint which will show you how you can triple your wave count in 30 days or less, improve your surfing style, get more barrels and get in the best shape of your life.

Surfing uses a combination of both your aerobic energy system (with oxygen) and your anaerobic energy system (without oxygen). In order to improve your cardiovascular fitness for surfing, you need to improve both of these energy systems simultaneously.

Doing hours of running along the beach is just not going to cut it. What you need to be doing is interval training using surf specific interval periods, and certain types of exercises which will boost both your paddle fitness and improve your overall surf conditioning.

First of all you need to be working on your core stability, which is using your core muscles to stabilise your torso when there are other forces acting against you. The basics of this are bridge or plank type exercises, but there are many more advanced exercises you need to?
