ScottW from Cantata's Blog

Thanks for Marshall for setting up a Blog site for me.

One observation that I want to make is the many different types of speech applications we are seeing with MSS.  The variety and range of speech applications is remarkable.  In the last 6 months we have seen the following:

  • Hospitals managing the flow of people and equipment
  • e-Commerce with email delivery of spoken requests for info
  • Transportation and delivery tracking
  • Speech access to mapping/direction programs
  • Speech access to Instant Messaging
  • Temporary workforce tracking
  • Outbound notification for appointment reminders
  • Consumer marketing via cellphone
    www.cantata.com/news/press_releases/2006/040406_direct2mobile.cfm

This shows me how MSS is helping to bring speech to mainstream applications.  I would love to hear about what other interesting applications people are seeing.

New pics from NYC.  We had a good turn out at the second Speech Server day in NYC.  The New York crowd was great about asking questions.  Eric built a working demo in front of the "live studio audience."  I learned a lot about VUI design from Kevin at ComputerTalk.  I would like to post all the content on GotSpeech.

Is anyone from the GotSpeech community going to be at the Atlanta Speech Server day on May 3?  There is still time to register at www.cantata.com/speechdays

I will be there.  It would be great to meet you face-to-face.

thanks,

Bill Ryan is speaking in Atlanta and is a member here.

I know of one and possibly 2 (if he can convince his boss) members that will be at Ft. Lauderdale.

Do you have attendance rolls fro these events? It would be interesting to see how many members we get as a result of the SSD events.

The amount of work that Microsoft is putting into speech is a strong testament to their commitment to this market.  Last week I saw speech demos of MSS 2007, Exchange 12 and Vista.  All of them showed great accuracy and an emphasis on a more natual language interface.

I was particularly impressed with how Vista handled the automatic switchinig between dictation and navigation. The speech rec features looked a lot easier to use then the similar package from Dragonsoft.

Now that the east coast tour of the Speech Server Days are done I am starting to plan similar events for the central and western regions.  In the east we attracted over 100 people in the 4 cities.  I would like to see that number grow for the next round of events.  I wonder what we can do to attract more people to attend the event.  There was a significant, but not atypical drop off between registration and attenedance.  Stuff always comes up.  One thought is to shorten the format to 1/2 or 3/4 of a day.  I think the full day schedule may turn some people away.  The other challenges securing the meeting rooms and lining up speakers.  Let me know you thoughts on the Speech Server Days and I will take it from there.
