Speech control for Amiga in planning
Carsten Siegner writes:
From today on I will work on a speech control for the Amiga. A speech control modul of "Conrad-Electronic" will be used for that. This one can control 65 different channels which are addressable by freely programmable speech commands. There are different speech recognition modes:

There is a single word recognition and a multiple word recognition. That modul might distinguish between "Arteffect start" and "Arteffect end" if ran in multilpe word recognition mode. The aim is a speech controlled toolbar or a speech controlled Internet browser which might open a special page on a shout. Probably an ARexx or even a speech controlled computer start or shutdown script might be possible.

I could imagine that the Amiga itself might give some feedback, probably with an audio feedback. That might be of the kind that after a spoken command the computer comes to word and gives a confirmation of the received command. The computer voice could be any sample.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome. (ps) (Translation: ub)

USB: HIGHWAY-successor "ALGOR" from E3B goes into production
E3B is glad to be able to present the well known HIGHWAY Zorro USB controller's successor ALGOR as the consequential result of its further development over a period of several months. Now, after the successful conclusion of a long test phase, ALGOR goes into production.

As with the successful predecessor, highest performance and optimal adaption to the Amiga Classic's circumstances was the development target for ALGOR.

You can find the press announcement in full as well as technical specifications on the E3B Web site. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Individual Computers: AmiGBG in Gothenburg, Delfina in production
On March 29th, the Amiga-show AmiGBG will take place. The event takes place for the third time this year, and we'll attend for the first time as an exhibitor. We will present new and known products from our palette together with our long-term partner GGS-Data. The Scandinavian Amiga-community is very active and most notably creative, therefore we're especially looking forward to this event!

With a little luck, we'll have our latest product in our luggage: After an extremely long wait, the sound card Delfina went into production. Nearly one year ago, we announced the last technical changes, that are already outdated today. The most important change is probably the split of the product into two boards. The updated product description on our website confirms what many people already assumed since the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper is out: The new Delfina is a combined Zorro/PCI card. The first stage of this high-end sound card will be available in Germany starting April 7th, 2003. Pre-orders are taken by our retail partners. (ps)

Larian Studios and e.p.i.c. interactive announced today that they have signed a contract to bring Larian Studios' highly awarded role playing sensation Divine Divinity to the Apple Macintosh and MorphOS.

Warrior, Wizard or Survivor? Which fate is yours? It's your decision, one that will influence the gameplay of Divine Divinity - playable as an action based RPG or a classical RPG! According to prophecy, you are the chosen one. Only you have the strength, the courage and the magic to save the legendary lands of Rivellon from submission under the Lord of Chaos. Before you can take on the fight against Evil, you must journey far through a fantastic world torn apart by corruption, sinister plots and dark magic. Caution is vital! Whatever happens, the evil magicians of the black ring must not get hold of you!

With an involving storyline and plenty of sub quests for maximum replayability, Divine Divinity is role-playing gaming at its best! As a warrior, wizard or survivor, you will create your own destiny!

More information on Divine Divinity and all the accolades it has achieved, can be found on e.p.i.c's or Larian Studios website.

The Apple release will lead the way in QIII/03 followed shortly thereafter by the MorphOS release.

The Mac version will be OSX only and will require a G3-333, 128 MByte RAM and a 8 MByte 3D Gfxcard. The MorphOS version will need a Pegasos I or II. (ps)
