Awesome! I'll record some voice samples that you can put on your laptop and activate with Dragon to trigger the spoken cookbook commands.... :) On Sun, Nov 30,...
This application is another instance of the old original "eyes busy/hands busy" functional justification for speeech recognition, although "hands messy" might...
Bruce, I honestly don't remember that one at all.... :-) But I'd be really interested to know how speaker-independent it was, or how much training it required...
Matt, it was the Scott Instruments technology, so it is now owned by Nuance through a sequence of acquisitions. I bet they've still got it lying around...
Oh, sorry, I mean 2 DS's. But my wife continually tells me to contribute more to cooking duties so I'll be sure to get the cooking trainer! ... From:...
Hi, since customer service and IVR systems are typically intertwined, I found a podcast that I thought was quite apropos. This discussion is mostly about...
Hi, I'll probably be proven wrong on this, but I think this product will flop. Kitchen's are not quiet spaces and to me, cooking is not a Q and A session...
Ohhh, I dunno. Peanut butter on toast is pretty quiet... And I hadn't classified my inability to cook as a disability... ;-p But seriously, you've got to see...
Mac & cheese is also pretty quiet. My guess is that this product is not aimed at a professional kitchen (like in a restaurant) and that you can turn the speech...
Perfect web recipe site: Tell it a few major ingredients you have and/or want to use, And a few other major attributes perhaps like: main/lunch/dinner/side, ...
Then what are we doing still in speech! I'm sure there's tons of money to be made in recipes! Your site ideas do sound good though. Todd ... -- !Todd erases a...
Hi Mark, Not sure if you're new to this list, but your post implies that you might be. I'll pretend you are, so welcome! J I have several responses to your...
Oh, the shame! It took me half a day to notice the pun there! For a while there I was taking that as a (somewhat uncharacteristic) compliment Phillip! ...
Hi Phillip, Quick thought on what we are seeing more, namely a gradual shift away from the perception that a successful speech app is necesarily defined by the...
Good Morning, I'd second Tim's view here. I've been advising my clients to look for the most "friction free" interaction possible for their callers. Where...
Hi Phillip, you are right, I am new here and thanks for the welcome. I was thinking this group (by its name) was mostly about VUI design, but glad to hear its...

Hi, I am relatively new to this group and am not sure if this is the right group to post this request. If not, please accept my apologies. I would like to...
Tim and Jeff, Yes, what the caller, and any customer, needs is to *only* experience the necessary and appropriate interaction and interface in order to reach...
Hi everyone, I'd like to invite you to participate in a brief, new survey looking at career issues for voice interaction designers. Some of you may have...
Hello Vuids, I'm trying to build an alphabet word grammar, so people can say things like 'a' as in 'apple', which we all know is tough. Anyway, the link below...
You should consider adding an extra field for the region/country of participants as words may differ from one country to another, it was embarrassing for me...

Jim, I'm working on a "Spelling Bee" app for elementary school kids, and running into all the classic difficulties I'm sure this group knows about. We are...
Hi David, Very interesting. Is this something that they'll use individually / privately to allow kids to practice spelling? (Or I guess that it could make an...
Hey Todd, ... It's for individual use, one mode for reinforcement and the other for testing purposes. ... I'm using Microsoft SAPI 6, since it's freely...
Hooray! About time someone else asked the 'rec engine' question, and bagged out OSR (pre 3)! I just finished explaining the OSR/Nuance9 n-best scoring...
This is an interesting version of the 'a for apple' problem, since you can't assume the 'user' can spell. It jogged my memory that my just 4 y.o. likes to say...
