It's been a while

I stopped working in ernest on speech APIs around September last year (i.e. the PDC timeframe), to focus on some of our natural language technology instead (it's all part of the same team). Anyways, that's why I've been lazy about posting anything on speech for the last 6 months. Shame on me. :P

Speech and NL are both cool technologies and it's a fun area to work in. But I've developed a hankering for doing some v.1 product work again. So about a month ago I joined my friends over in MSR Incubation (MSR = Microsoft Research).   Pretty kewl :-)

I figure I'll keep the blog titled "all the cool developers use speech APIs", because it's true. And I love speech. And I love the speech APIs we're shipping in WinFX and Vista. And besides, you do want to be cool don't you? ;-) And I'll start posting regularly again. Promise.

BTW, I really like Thierry Fontanelle's CorrecteurOrthographiqueOffice blog, which talks about some of the great NL stuff we're continually working on and shipping. Go check it out. Last week he posted about the new spelling technology going into Office 2007.

Cheers
