It probably shouldn't surprise me that on the day that Information Today Inc. acquired Speech Technology Magazine and its related products I was interacting with a speech-enabled interactive voice response (IVR) system. I was confirming an order with 1-800-flowers.com to buy a gourmet food basket for the family of a friend and colleague who recently lost a devoted father and husband. Because of the sensitive nature of this purchase, I wanted it to be treated with the care, sensitivity, and assurances that I thought only a human could provide. I've had plenty of good experiences with speech-enabled IVR systems, especially recently, but the importance of this purchase and the relative newness of the technology concerned me.

Here's an interesting turn of events: Despite the recent negative press on speech technology, Newsday, a daily newspaper serving more than 2 million readers on Long Island, NY, countered with a fairly positive piece on the industry. What's more, the story, "If You Prefer Humans, Press 0," by Tania Padgett, (October 19, 2006), even dedicated a significant amount of attention to Paul English, founder of gethuman.com. It behooves those in the industry to welcome English and learn from him, as he's splashing some much-needed water on the industry's face.
