Mark, this is what I was thinking of . . . I wonder how it was accepted. tmaa.com tmaa.com o George White, director of voice technology, General Magic "GMI Voice-Enabled Internet Services" This talk focuses on what General Magic has learned as a pioneer in developing Telephony VUIs. General Magic specializes in Telephony "VUIs with personality" which, in the beginning, it struggled to craft without the advantage of VUI development tools. Now tools such as the Natural Language Speech Assistant from Unisys, Voyager with Speech Objects from Nuance and DialogModules from SpeechWorks can reduce VUI development times by 80%. In addition, VoiceXML, proposed jointly by IBM, Lucent, AT&T and Motorola, will soon further reduce development time and cost. A short explanation of these VUI development tools will be given. Furthermore, the psychological theory behind "VUIs with personality" will be presented along with a demonstration of myTalk which embodies the theory. Finally, the impact of VoIP, WAP and Bluetooth on the future of Telephony VUIs will be noted.
