Dear IFETS Forum Members,
I thought, this might be interested to all of you.
We are moving to the New Era of Browsing Speech Technology and we are
going to control computers through Speech..
GIGAMACHINES BY THE MILLENNIUM
Tomorrow's computer users will escalate their search for ever more computing
power, as they begin to take advantage of technologies such as speech
software and voice e-mail. "You will want a gigahertz machine for
multimedia, three-dimensional graphics, continuous speech input,
visualization, video conferencing and so on," says the VP and general
manager of business platforms at Intel. "We will also introduce 'constant
computing' to utilize the unused idle power." Meanwhile, a researcher at
IBM predicts, "By the millennium, 50 million people will be using speech
software to control their computers. You will be able to ask your browser
to find you things on penguins in Antarctica or dictate your e-mails, which
will be multimedia, so instead of dictating the text you could record your
voice and it would automatically arrive at either the recipient's PC or
telephone. People will realize that voice is more valuable than the same
words recorded as text." (Financial Times 23 Sep 98)
