Openstream 's multimodal Smart Messaging Platform solution using IBM
WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment can provide speech capability
to mobile applications specifically designed for consumer and enterprise
devices with small screens and limited input methods. For example, users
can access information related to executed trades, stock quotes, portfolio
and market news by talking to their devices and listening to what the
system finds. Unicode was chosen
because it provides a way of referencing characters independent of the
encoding of the text, it is being updated and completed carefully, and
it is widely accepted and implemented by industry. "We've combined the most
intuitive features found in Microsoft Word with our own usability innovations
to create an effortlessly easy visual editor."
MadCap Flare combines established, essential Help authoring standards with
a host of new, unprecedented features. Advanced features such as conditional tags and variables allow
authors to easily repurpose content, and automated wizards make it easy to
create a Table of Contents, Index , and Search.

"Character Model of the World Wide Web - Fundamentals" Brings
Unified Approach to Using Characters on the Web

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published the "Character
Model of the World Wide Web: Fundamentals " as a W3C Recommendation.
The goal of the Character Model for the World Wide Web is to
facilitate use of the Web by all people, regardless of their language,
script, writing system, and cultural conventions, in accordance with
the W3C goal of universal access. Services provided by the Consortium include: a repository of
information about the World Wide Web for developers and users, and
various prototype and sample applications to demonstrate use of new
technology. The software
maintains the content in pure XML format, allowing users to easily reuse and
repurpose the content to virtually any format, standard, device, or operating
system."
"This is not the complex XML editor that you would expect," said Bjorn
Backlund, CTO and founder of MadCap Software. The software includes complete
project management capabilities with document check in/out, as well as
multi-language support, including Unicode support.com.

IBM WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment software requires no
speaker training, so it can be used immediately. W3C specifications and applications now use
Unicode as the common reference character set.madcapsoftware .
