American Express Corporate Service Group of New York is preparing to roll out an new speech-recognition system called Paris that will give corporate travelers 24-hour telephone access to real-time flight availability information as well as enable them to make reservations easily. The user-friendly system, which was developed with Nuance Communications Inc. of Menlo Park, CA, recognizes names and synonyms for over 350 U.S. cities and airports and up to 10,000 phrases.
