I recent saw an advert about a service on mobiles that converts your speech to text. I've heard that this is based on technology from SpinVox, but am some what...

Hello, the usefulness of persona-design is arguable. Some say it's not necessary (especially for small applications), others spend much time with elaborating...
You might do well to search the archives for some background on that one... There was a rather heated discussion about this. And I think the agreed summary...
Thank you, Peter, for your summary. Though, indeed, I think that your anecdote has little to do with Persona. I don't know exactly what kind of wrong...
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that many of you are equally annoyed when a client (often a bank) wants to layer speech on top of some existing DTMF...

Peter, our messages have "crossed": I'm afraid that you could be right and that noone really has evidence which attributes work and which don't. But, you never...
Thanks, Sarah! I encourage everyone to participate in SIGDial, but also remember that we are launching a new professional organization for VUI design at...
Just wanted to point out that SIGDial is not aimed directly at Voice User Interface Designers - its mission is broader in scope (and realization). So AVID will...
I I¢m in the final stages of testing a Speech application (Nuance 8.5). I'm using several small custom grammars and a few standard grammars which are for...
Here's a few thoughts: How many different test speakers are we talking? In my experience, us humans over-extrapolate things and infer patterns where there...
Oh, there's one more trick you could do if you are forced to do confirmations: Use n-best and look for score differences between, say "tuesday" and "today". If...
