Online discussion: "What to expect from speech technologies in 2006"
Clint Patterson, Director of Marketing for Microsoft Speech Server, will be taking part in an online roundtable, December 5 at 10:00am (Pacific), with some of his industry counterparts: Dan Faulkner of Nuance, Brian Garr of IBM, and Tim Moynihan of Intel. Could be interesting, although I expect there'll be more of a business than a technical focus. See http://crmxchange.raindance.com/iccdocs/seminarDesc.shtml?id=575588 to sign up.
Update (6 Jan 2006): this session was recorded and is available here.
