Samsung Unveils SGH-E620 Bluetooth Voice Recognition Phone

Samsung Electronics is launching a cutting-edge mobile phone that has combined Bluetooth with voice recognition technology. Using the Bluetooth headset, users can make and receive calls without touching the phone.

Samsung announced that it has released the SGH-E620 Bluetooth voice recognition phone into the European market, which can make calls using one’s voice via a Bluetooth headset. This product exhibits the state-of-the-art technology that places a call to the person whose name has been stated into the Bluetooth headset, by automatically searching the phone book of the mobile phone.

The SGH-E620 Bluetooth voice recognition phone is much easier to use than existing gadgets which need to be placed close to the user’s mouth and its capacity for voice recognition has been greatly enhanced. Furthermore, calls can be made with the mobile phone left untouched inside a user’s bag or pocket, making it even more convenient. Calls can be placed safely when the user is driving a car.

A “speaker-independent voice recognition” technology has been adopted in the SGH-E620, which does not limit voice recognition to voice type. The phone supports 5 languages, namely English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.

In addition to the Bluetooth functionality, SGH-E620 has a refined antenna design and comes equipped with a 1-megapixel camera, video wallpaper, silver nano anti-bacterial coating, speaker phone and 64 polyphonic ringtones, among others.

“Samsung Electronics is planning to expand the range of languages supported by the Bluetooth voice recognition technology, that is, to cover Chinese and Russian, and certainly Korean for release into the Korean market,” a Samsung official said. “Samsung will eventually lead the global Bluetooth market by further strengthening the Bluetooth technology so that Samsung mobile phones become even more competitive.”
