Speech Recognition in Town

SpeechTEK starts today, a conference dedicated to the speech recognition industry. I was at Dragon Systems for years and before that, did some PR for Kurzweil when speech recognition systems were in the thousands of dollars and accuracy rates were painfully low.

For years, it was held at the NYC Hilton, but this year, its in my new town - at the Marriott San Francisco on Fourth Street. Tom Peters is giving the keynote and I'm actually registered as a blogger this year, or something like it.

I don't currently have any speech clients although I did represent a handful after leaving Dragon for a few years.......its hard to resist not going however since I've always been passionate about speech. Alas, even if to go down memory lane for a few hours.
