LumenVox

LumenVox is a speech recognition application often used with PBX systems. Speech recognition should not to be confused with voice recognition which is completely different.

Speech recognition is the translation of spoken words into text or other type of useable format as voice recognition is the identification of a person like a fingerprint or a biometric eye scanner.
