(Yicai Global) Aug. 2 -- Iflytek Co. [SHE:002230] develops intelligent voice and voice technology in China.
Iflytek led the way in devising two standards for internet service by Chinese-language voice that have received official approval from China's authorities.
Iflytek announced Aug. 1 that the two national standards are respectively specifications for internet service interfaces with Chinese speech synthesis and Chinese speech recognition, both of which will apply from next Feb. 1.
The standards fill a gap in cloud integration standards in intelligent voice technology in China and show the firm's vanguard status within this industry, Iflytek said.
The standards will aid in developing industrial clusters and an ecological system based on the company's artificial intelligence development platform, but will not greatly influence its current operation and production, it said.
Iflytek's specialty is research into intelligent voice and language technology, and development of software and chip products. Its major shareholders are China Mobile Ltd. and USTC Holdings Co.
