New services added to "My Cosmos" voice portal
12/2001
Dialogos implements the new services of the voice portal ''My Cosmos'':
Horoscopes
At the “Zodiac Signs” menu the user hears a description of the selected sign’s characteristics, whereas at the “Signs Compatibility” menu he/she receives the chosen signs’ compatibility percentage. At the “Daily Horoscope” menu Iphigenia, the portal’s virtual astrologer (being actually the female computer-generated voice of Dialogos’ speech synthesis system), reveals the daily horoscopes of the user’s selected signs.
Black Jack
A new fun service, where the user confronts the voice portal, which acts as both dealer and second player. There are no losers in this game and the truly entertaining interaction with the banker is the main reason for playing it! Suspense is increasing during the game as the user searches for the points-winning secret words.
Athens Airport Timetable
An online connection with the Athens International Airport provides real time information on the flights’ scheduled or delayed arrivals and departures of the current day.
Euro Converter
A useful and easy to use aid for the period of Greeks’ adaptation to the new currency. The user verbally states the amount in drachmas or euros and the system converts it to the other currency.
