The MeeGo v1.2 for IVI release includes:

  • A sample IVI Homescreen and speech recognition enabled application launch menu built with QML, and a collection of commonly used QML based applications. The application launch menu can be controlled by speech, or by a Contour ShuttleXpress scroll wheel, touch screen, or mouse and is designed to reflect the scroll wheel usage, with the ability to spin through the menu options and make selections or go back, by pressing two buttons or by tapping the touch screen.
  • TTS (Text-to-speech) is supported using Festival Speech Synthesis. TTS is enabled by default in the Homescreen menu navigation.
  • Speech recognition for the application launch menu uses the integrated PocketSphinx 0.6.1 package, which is a lightweight, cross-platform engine built using the Sphinx speech recognition toolkit. PocketSphinx provides a GStreamer plugin, allowing the application to create a pipeline to parse the human voice, based on words defined in the dictionary. Voice commands for the homescreen application launch menu have been pre-defined for navigating the scroll menus. Additional voice commands may be added by application developers.
  • QT-Mobility (QML) integration and QML based sample applications which include, but are not limited to: video player, song player, photo viewer, settings management, and MeeGo Touch Framework based sample applications provided along with MeeGo 1.1 IVI. An updated version of the MeeGo 1.1 IVI handsfree dialer is also included.
  • MeeGo Core OS: The MeeGo In-Vehicle Infotainment image includes the MeeGo 1.2 Core OS. Check the release notes for details.
