BURLINGTON, ON, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ - Flurple2, a sensory robotics software company, unveiled Trivio™, a new trivia game application (app) that allows users to say their answers out loud.  In its first week on the App Store, Trivio launched onto the Top 50 list in the USA.  In Canada, Trivio climbed to the iTunes Top-5 New and Noteworthy board for Free Games & Trivia apps. 

The television game show-style app, Trivio is the first trivia game to incorporate voice activation, speech recognition plus artificial intelligence (AI). Trivio works with all Apple products, including the iPad™, iPhone® 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, the original iPhone, and the iPod touch®.

Gaming is simple and fun -- you tap the big red button on the screen and speak your answer.  If you miss, your opponent gets a chance to answer the question.  Points are scored for the fastest correct response.  The more difficult the questions, the more points you get.

"With Trivio, it's challenging to think fast -- and speak the answer.  Other quiz games are based on a simple multiple choice setup. Trivio is a quantum leap forward in mobile, interactive gaming", states Pete Deschamps, Flurple2 CEO.

Flurple2 is pleased to announce that Trivio is powered by Sensory®, the leader in speech technologies for consumer products.  "Trivio is a fun and challenging game that uses speech recognition technology in a very effective way to enhance the interactive gameplay beyond multiple choice or the hassle of typed in responses", said Todd Mozer CEO Sensory.

Trivio can revolutionize family game night, allowing parents and kids to form "teams" to play against each other and "buzz in" when they think they have the right answer.  The app uses Bluetooth for lightning fast multiplayer games, and has four levels of question difficulty, from 'Easy' to 'Killer'. 

Trivio uses Apple's Accessibility features for the disabled - seeing-impaired players can have the questions read aloud to them.  Deschamps sees the technology being used to help people, as well as for pure entertainment. 

"Helping people help themselves is something I've never forgotten from my time in the local Burlington Rotary Club.  Trivio can be used to assist stroke victims, and help people with disabilities learn how to talk again, while having fun at the same time", says Pete Deschamps.

Trivio's robotics can be franchised and serve-up any company's content and media, including trivia and educational content licensing. The educational and medical applications are endless", states Pete Deschamps.

Currently Trivio is available on the App Store worldwide.  In its first week on the free app iTunes market, Trivio ranked in the Top 200 Free Games/Trivia category in 37 countries around the globe.  Trivio was deemed New & Noteworthy in 5 countries including Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
