Hey everyone! Welcome to Speech Technology magazine’s first blog. All the content on this site will be managed by me, Lauren Shopp, the magazine’s assistant editor. In coming weeks, additions will be made by other ST staff members, and hopefully a few industry insiders, as well. While news updates are made daily to our main Web site, the blog will function as a means to examine the industry’s news and developments in a more casual, critical tone. Expect daily updates about everything from ASR to VUI, with lots of links, threads, and even a few pictures thrown in for good measure.

If you’d like to drop us a line with story ideas, we have our own blog-specific email address: blog@speechtechblog.com. And, of course, your comments are encouraged on our posts. See you soon!
