At "Human and Car Technology Exhibition 2008"Toshiba displayed its car navigator with hands-free, and closer to "live voice" synthesis technology "ToSpeak" and EDR specifications Bluetooth chipset. At the same time, Toshiba also demonstrated the voice recognition technology, the future is prepared to voice synthesis and voice recognition features are packed in Bluetooth chip set. In this way, "it can be very convenient for automotive navigation systems equipped with advanced hands-free."

The Bluetooth chipset uses the two "ARM9" and a "ARM7" CPU core by the British company ARM. Voice synthesis and voice recognition function by two ARM9 core calculi to achieve. ARM7 is the primary role of a Bluetooth-enabled data processing.

The so-called voice synthesis is defined as "electronic voice" to increase sound feeling to make it more close to a real person to speak at the feeling. Specifically, Toshiba developed a "multi-integration mode of choice" technology. From the past, "the voice information" in the choice of an information unit of "syllable" to be synthesized, and is now select more than one syllable fusion, to make it close to goal, into a "live voice" sense of sound.

In addition, Toshiba has also conducted the following presentation: users of Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone voice commands, you can call hands-free access.
