For companies in the speech industry, it's time to start making plans for the industry's biggest show, SpeechTEK Fall, held every year in New York City. And since the show is in our own backyard, we at Audium always make a point of encouraging all of our employees to make their way there.

Checking out the schedule for this year, I was very pleased to see that Paul English, the man behind the IVR Cheat Sheet, will be appearing as a keynote speaker at the conference.

If Paul English's keynote manages to start a substantive discussion in the industry about how we really should care that the public is by and large entirely lacking in warm and fuzzy feelings towards our product, that would be pretty exciting.
