Having worked at BBN where there was a bit of research in this field I
found it both interesting and exciting to watch develop. While it is still
very primitive, I have absolutely no doubt that it will become one of the
most important areas of research in computing and I am also quite
confident that it will succeed well beyond our expectations.
I still pick up the phone at work and speak the persons' name whom I wish
to speak to into the mouthpiece since we had a call router at work that
used in-house voice technology to dial your call for you.
