Just a reminder...
AVIOS 2001, the conference and expo on speech technology applications, is coming up in a couple of weeks!
It will be held April 2-4 at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, California, and is followed on April 4 by the first VoiceXML Forum Users Group Meeting.
You can register for both or either at www.avios.org or by calling 408-323-1783. (The program is on the Web site.) The hotel phone number is 408-453-4000 (ask for the AVIOS rate-rooms are almost sold out).
The conference covers commercial applications of speech recognition, speech synthesis, and speaker authentication. The exhibit hall covers all areas, with a featured Voice Web Showcase.
AVIOS is a one-of-a-kind show: It covers both business and development topics in the rapidly growing opportunities created by the advance of speech recognition and other speech technologies.
It covers the convergence of market segments-applications for the telephone, PC, mobile and consumer devices, the Internet, and automobiles.
The AVIOS conference gets down to details. It fills the gap between highly technical conferences-where it is often difficult to see the immediate applicability of the research-and trade shows-which usually offer talks that are not much more than sales pitches or broad generalities. It is vendor-independent and is supported by most of the major speech technology vendors.
AVIOS (the Applied Voice Input/Output Society)-a twenty-year-old non-profit organization-and the conference enjoy wide industry support: The principal conference sponsors are IBM, Motorola, General Magic, and Fonix. Supporting sponsors are Conversay, InterVoice-Brite, Mindspeed, Nuance, Philips Speech Processing, SpeechWorks, VerbalTek, VoiceGenie, and Wavemakers.
Please register for AVIOS 2001 at www.avios.org or call 408-323-1783. ONE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE STORY ON COMMERICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN SPEECH TECHNOLOGY.
Thanks for considering this, and hoping to see you in San Jose,
Bill Meisel Executive Director, Applied Voice Input/Output Society President, TMA Associates
