IAP 2006 Activity


It's All About the Interface: Speech Recognition That Works for Both Human and Computer
Mary Ziegler, Kimberly Patch, President, Redstart Systems
Tue Jan 17, 11am-01:00pm, 3-133

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up

Although it has been possible to use speech to control a desktop computer for the past decade or so, the technology has not lived up to its potential for speeding and simplifying computer use. Kim Patch, President of Redstart Systems, will talk about why this is and why it doesn't have to be. She'll also demonstrate Utter Command -- a speech interface that addresses classic interface challenges including speedy access to folders, files and Web sites, command consistency across programs, break reminders, and managing time.
