NEW YORK, NY – May 2, 2006 –Tell-Eureka today announced that Mike Phillips, speech technology visionary and pioneer, has joined its advisory board.
“Speech and dialog technologies have advanced greatly in recent years and Tell-Eureka is at the forefront in capitalizing on these developments with focused applications that have been proven in large scale deployments,” said Phillips. “Tell-Eureka’s innovative speech platform and applications are resolving complex problems and driving new efficiencies in the call center.”
Mike Phillips brings more than 20 years of speech technology experience to Tell-Eureka’s advisory board. In 1994 he co-founded Speechworks based on technology that he developed as part of the Spoken Language Systems program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As CTO he grew Speechworks from a startup in an emerging industry into a leader in the now established market for speech-enabled solutions. The company was acquired by ScanSoft (now Nuance) in 2003. Phillips has returned to MIT where he now serves as a visiting scientist working on next-generation speech interfaces.
“Perhaps no one has contributed to the commercialization and widespread adoption of speech technology more than Mike Phillips. By applying research discoveries to solve real-world business problems, he helped forge a whole new industry that launched speech applications for the enterprise,” said Roberto Pieraccini, CTO for Tell-Eureka.
“Mike Phillips is a speech technology visionary who continues to push the envelope with spoken dialog innovations,” said Zor Gorelov, founder and CEO of Tell-Eureka. “We welcome Mike to our advisory board and look forward to working with him on advancing our platform capabilities to the next level.”
