Abstract
I will first sketch some background on the company ScanSoft. Next, I will discuss ScanSoft’s products and technologies, which include digital imaging and OCR technology, automatic speech recognition technology (ASR), text-to-speech technology (TTS), dialogue technology, including multimodal dialogues, dictation technology and audiomining technology. I will sketch the basic functionality of these technologies, a global sketch of the components they are composed of, demonstrate some of them, and illustrate the platform types on which they can be used.
Finally I will sketch what is needed to develop such technologies, focusing not only on data but also on required modules and methodologies.
