Intel to develop voice-embedded software in local Indian lang
Leading chip maker Intel is in the process of deveoping a voice-embedded software in local Indian languages for those who are not familiar with the Engligh langugage, a top company official said on Tuesday.
As part of the National Digital Literacy
Mission, the government has decided to make one per family e-literate
and Intel is one of the ecosystem players, which launched the mission in
the country last year, Ramaprasad Srinivasan, Director, MNC Business,
Intel India, reports said.
Stating that 2.50 lakh village
panchayats have already been chosen under the National IT policy for
this project, Srinivasan said those who knew the common language of
English would be covered as a pilot programme.
Asked if there was any plan to cover
non-english knowing population, he said the company was in talks with
some software firms for developing voiced embedded device, which would
be a reality in the near future and by which more villagers could be
brought under e-literate mission through local languages.
Seeking to dispel a general myth,
Srinivasan said the PC has not died but evolved and emerged in various
forms like laptops, tablets and even mobile smart phones.
