* ''Medical, disabilities'', many people have difficulty typing due to physical limitations such as repetitive strain injuries (RSI), muscular dystrophy, and many others. For example, people with difficulty hearing could use a system connected to their telephone to convert a caller's speech to text.

* ''Embedded applications'', some new cellular phones include C&C speech recognition that allow utterances such as "call home". This may be a major factor in the future of automatic speech recognition and [[Linux]].

* ''[[Software development]]'': An [[integrated development environment]] can embed natural-language interfaces to help developers.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kimmig|first=Markus|last2=Monperrus|first2=Martin|last3=Mezini|first3=Mira|title=Querying source code with natural language|url=https://oadoi.org/10.1109/ase.2011.6100076|journal=2011 26th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2011)|pages=376–379|doi=10.1109/ase.2011.6100076|arxiv=1205.6361|year=2011|isbn=978-1-4577-1639-3}}</ref>

Below are named and defined some of the applications that use natural-language recognition, and so have integrated utilities listed above.

Line 92 ⟶ 91:

* [[Lexxe]] – Lexxe was an Internet search engine that used natural-language processing for queries (semantic search). Searches could be made with keywords, phrases, and questions, such as "How old is Wikipedia?" Lexxe closed its search engine services in 2015.

* [[Pikimal]] – Pikimal used natural-language tied to user preference to make search recommendations by template. Pikimal closed in 2015.

* [[Powerset (company)|Powerset]] – On May 11, 2008, the company unveiled a tool for searching a fixed subset of [[Wikipedia]] using conversational phrases rather than keywords.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/12/powerset-debuts-with-search-of-wikipedia/ |title=Powerset Debuts With Search of Wikipedia |publisherwork=The New York Times |first=Miguel |last=Helft |date=May 12, 2008}}</ref> On July 1, 2008, it was purchased by [[Microsoft]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.powerset.com/blog/articles/2008/07/01/microsoft-to-acquire-powerset |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225064356/http://www.powerset.com/blog/articles/2008/07/01/microsoft-to-acquire-powerset |archivedate=February 25, 2009 |title=Microsoft to Acquire Powerset |publisher=Powerset Blog |first=Mark |last=Johnson |date=July 1, 2008}}</ref>

* [[Q-go]] – The Q-go technology provides relevant answers to users in response to queries on a company’s internet website or corporate intranet, formulated in natural sentences or keyword input alike. Q-go was acquired by [[RightNow Technologies]] in 2011.

* [[Yebol]] – Yebol is a vertical "decision" search engine that had developed a knowledge-based, semantic search platform. Yebol's artificial intelligence human intelligence-infused algorithms automatically cluster and categorize search results, web sites, pages and content that it presents in a visually indexed format that is more aligned with initial human intent. Yebol uses association, ranking and clustering algorithms to analyze related keywords or web pages. Yebol integrates natural-language processing, metasynthetic-engineered open complex systems, and machine algorithms with human knowledge for each query to establish a web directory that actually 'learns', using correlation, clustering and classification algorithms to automatically generate the knowledge query, which is retained and regenerated forward.<ref>Humphries, Matthew.
