Last month I posted on the advent of digiscent content within the world of ECM. I positioned this subject within the broader topic of digital content - the power and fun in being able to leverage multiple forms of data (text, pictures, audio, video, smell taste).
In that same vein, I want to draw attention to the upcoming SpeechTEK show. Though not as edgy as digital odor or “tasty inks”, speech processing and speech recognition nonetheless represents another form of content and functionality for ECM. Whether as front-end/interface to content capture and content retrieval, interface to workflow/BPM, integrated personalized training/warnings in content or as part of a content security strategy, digital audio content and speech technology need to be explored and appreciated by the ECMer.
I am sad to say I will not be attending the show, and that, unfortunately, from my perspective, SpeechTEK is a bit heavy on the automated customer service side of speech technology application. But the show does provide a forum at which to become exposed to the latest underlying technology and features of this form of digital content. What you do with that knowledge and functionality is up to you. Like I said in the earlier post “God I love ECM – its so cool.”
