A panel recently gathered in Silicon Valley, California, to discuss the recent gains made in speech recognition technology. Ashok Bagdy, well-versed in speech recognition’s utility in business, summarizes some of the panelists’ main points.
A scientist from Nuance, a company which licenses its voice recognition platform to Ford Motor Co. and Apple, said the technology has greatly evolved from merely understanding sound. He attributed recent gains to the ability to sift through massive quantities of data and to build models around the data. As a result, voice recognition software now often comprehends context and meaning. A representative from Ford discussed the company’s integration of voice recognition software into Ford vehicles. Called MyFordTouch, this technology enables motorists to change the radio station, control air conditioning and heating, and request directions simply by asking. Ford expects to install MyFordTouch in an estimated 13 million automobiles by 2015. Ashok Bagdy heads outsourcing services at a Florida-based company, Cameo Corporate Services Limited, where he initiated the sale of its successful speech recognition products.
