“There has been increasing interest amongst MACS customers for voice-driven solutions,” stated Tony Liddar, Managing Director of MACS Software. “MACS is keen to satisfy that customer need and has opted for the Voxware solution because of its open systems architecture and industry-leading speech recognition capabilities. Voxware’s VoiceLogistics Pro, an open standards-based software solution, offers our clients a superior development platform for voice applications that will run on a range of handheld terminals from a range of manufacturers.
