PANEL TO DISCUSS SEPTEMBER 13
THINK TANK SESSION FINDINGS
Leading technologists meet
on neutral ground to map out the next hot voice-driven enterprise
applications.
October 2, 2000, Palo Alto, Calif. -- A panel of experts
will discuss the deployment of voice and speech-recognition technologies
and applications for consumers and enterprises at a panel discussion
at the Silicon Valley World Internet Center on October 18, 2000,
from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
In the next few years, it is expected that most people accessing
the Internet (particularly globally) will not do so using a standard
PC, but through wireless phones and PDAs (personal digital assistants).
Since these new Internet devices aren't conducive to extended typing,
many believe that voice technologies will have to be deployed.
"Today, devices are getting smaller and smaller, but as my boss
is fond of saying, 'our fingers aren't,' says Sunil Soares, Program
Director, Product Management, IBM Voice Systems. "So, voice is the
most natural way to go for companies that want to deliver simple
and faster access to information from anywhere at anytime using
any device -- no matter what the size."
Additionally, voice and speech-recognition technologies are being
aligned for large-scale systems deployment across enterprises. The
latest Think Tank Session at the Center focused on how these technologies
could be applied and utilized for cross-enterprise applications.
This Interactive Panel Discussion is a follow-up program to the
Think Tank Session on voice-driven enterprise applications that
took place at the Center on September 13, 2000. A distinguished
panel of experts from the Think Tank Session will be discussing
the deployment of voice and speech-recognition technologies and
applications for the next 12-18 month markets.
The panel is open to the public, attendance is limited to 60, and
registration is recommended. A ten dollar fee is payable by check
or cash the day of the program. There is no fee for Center Sponsors.
