110708 -
110709 -       I just forwarded one of your messages and access link URLs to
110710 -       Bill Lehrman, an architect, former professor at Diablo Valley
110711 -       College in real estate economics, and expert witness for the
110712 -       State in eminent domain. He is into speech technology. Is
110713 -       installing computerized kiosk networks.
110714 -
110715 -       He's intrigued with your concept, and is demo'ing for me the
110716 -       Sony Digital Voice Recorder. He has a variety of recording
110717 -       devices that create computer files that can be cut and pasted
110718 -       from voice mail files. ref DRT 1 OO5O
110719 -
110720 - It helps to know what SDS records people forward, so if a contact
110721 - results, we can respond effectively, i.e., this is one way of using
110722 - SDS for "intelligence."
110723 -
110724 - Received ref DRT 2 0001, also, from Matt forwarding notice he received
110725 - from Bill Lehrman of a professional conference on speech recognition.

110732 - as a possible enabling technology for SDS, most recently on 991108.
110733 - ref SDS 1 7823
110734 -
110735 -       [On 011011 Matt discusses creating interface between SDS and
110736 -       recording system. ref SDS 10 YU4J
110737 -
110738 - On 010510 Steve Balmer reported that Microsoft R&D shows speech
110739 - recognition technology still produces a lot of errors. ref SDS 5 GB8I
110740 -
110741 - Recently, on 010619 John Deneen promoted speech recognition, and was
110742 - asked about arranging for a demonstration to test accuracy.  This is
110743 - still pending. ref SDS 6 0H5O
110744 -
110745 - This past Saturday, on 011006 I asked a friend at Intel who uses video
110746 - conferencing, which would a good application for voice recognition to
110747 - capture the record, but was told Intel has not found a reliable
110748 - technology. ref SDS 8 IQ5M
110749 -
110750 -
110751 - Matt continues....
110752 -
110753 -       Seems like a natural link to SyberSay. Did you ever get back
110754 -       with Steve Poffut, CEO of SyberSay for that narration link?
110755 -       ref DRT 1 0R6J
110756 -
110757 - Matt's 2nd letter mentions SyberSay again. ref DRT 2 0001
110758 -
110759 - There is no record of contacting SyberSay.
110760 -
110761 - Possibly Matt submitted information on this previously and I misplaced
110762 - it, or perhaps it was sent to someone else, or not at all.
110763 -
110764 -
110765 - Matt notes...
110766 -
110767 -       Land Warrior recording of battlefield events might be a timely
110768 -       issue again. And voice-activated blackbox cockpit recorders?
110769 -       ref DRT 1 ER6N
110770 -
110771 - Matt's 2nd letter also makes reference to using SDS with speech
110772 - recognition for battlefield/military support. ref DRT 2 0001

110774 - On 010228 Matt attended a meeting, along with John Deneen, at Pacific
110775 - Consultants where SDS was discussed for supporting a command center
110776 - operation. ref SDS 4 0001
110777 -
110778 - The war on terrorism seems to present an opportunity for using the
110779 - Land Warrior technology.  SDS strengthens intelligence capability,
110780 - which is also useful for military and business enterprise; however,
110781 - there are a lot of cultural barriers to deployment, as reported on
110782 - 010924. ref SDS 7 XT5F
110783 - ..
110784 - Submitted an email to Matt, thanking him for the lead, and
110785 - linked to this record for follow up.
110786 -
110787 - In particular, Matt's continued effort to recommend SDS for specific
110788 - applications is helpful and appreciated, as the only apparent avenue
110789 - for advancing SDS deployment, through randomly encountering someone
110790 - who will try SDS, like a lottery.
110791 -
110792 -     [On 011010 received ideas from Matt on systematic marketing to
110793 -     stay energized by setting deadlines. ref SDS 9 Q79J
