The magic of speech technology

Apple's Principal Research Scientist Kim Silverman (BSc 1978), returned to Monash last month to give students and alumni insights into Apple's approach in managing the path from research to product development. Silverman, who in his spare time is President of the Society of American Magicians (Palo Alto chapter), demonstrated Apple's latest technologies in speech recognition and speech synthesis.
Videos of the presentation will shortly be available at the Monash libraries.
