Speech recognition burst into games with the release of the highly innovative Seaman in 1999. Recent high profile, successful deployments such as the online PlayStation® 2 title "SOCOM: US Navy Seals" and the "Operator's Side" have proven the concept of integration of speech as a very important differentiator in a highly competitive market.
