Silent Software: February 2007
http://silentsoftware.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Software development, .Net, speech recognition, and stuff. Monday, February 26, 2007. Announcing the SpeakRight Framework. There's been a big change in direction for me in the last month. I'm going open-source. Spent the last month learning Java and Eclipse.and creating an open-source VoiceXML framework called the SpeakRight Framework. Currently SpeakRight has only been tested on the Voxeo community site. It's VoiceXML 2.0. Can't wait to try SpeakRight out on Linux, and on MSS 2007! Links to this post.

Silent Software: Chief Programmer Teams
http://silentsoftware.blogspot.com/2007/08/chief-programmer-teams.html
Software development, .Net, speech recognition, and stuff. Thursday, August 09, 2007. I found an ancient programming book: Top-Down Structured Programming Techniques. By Clement L. McGowan and John R. Kelly (1975). It describe Harlan Mill's project at IBM where he pioneered CPT. Guess what. It worked. These reasons for success are easier to see from an agile perspective. Early 70s software development was primitive. The existing paradigm structured programming. Top-down programming. write top level c...

Software development, .Net, speech recognition, and stuff. Friday, June 16, 2006. Charlie Wilson's War - Book Review.

They supported (and were cheered) by fundamentalist jihadis, giving them secret weapons for attacking convoys and shelling bases. Is being made of the book. MSDN is ...

Silent Software: Mondrian at Google
http://silentsoftware.blogspot.com/2007/06/mondrian-at-google.html
Software development, .Net, speech recognition, and stuff. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Python's inventor Guido van Rossum is at Google. His first project was a tool for code reviews called Mondrian. Described here. And in a video. This is a revealing glimpse of a 21st-century software development organization. Heavy use of tools to automate the organization's own development process. Data encrypted on HD so when throw out server no privacies worries. Google uses perforce (p4) but no developer branches!

Silent Software: On Code-Generation Tools
http://silentsoftware.blogspot.com/2007/06/on-code-generation-tools.html
Software development, .Net, speech recognition, and stuff. Monday, June 18, 2007. Had an article bashing code generation as a programming technique. He is suspicous that visual programming is no better (and in many ways worse) than textual programming. The generated code is often unreadable, and in the case of proprietary tools, you'll be forever dependent on the tool vendor for bug fixes and updates. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Silent Software: Speech to Text coming to cell phones
http://silentsoftware.blogspot.com/2007/06/speech-to-text-coming-to-cell-phones.html
Software development, .Net, speech recognition, and stuff. Tuesday, June 05, 2007. Speech to Text coming to cell phones. This still isn't perfect dictation accuracy. The Morpheus video mentions about a 10% error rate. So it's still not really ready for dictating blog posts from your phone, but the accuracy is tightly tied to CPU power which improves every year. As the VUI design blog. Says, the recent acquisitions of BeVocal and TellMe is perhaps being driven by interest in network-based speech.
