  3. What Was the Fuss?

  4. Bill Gates-- Comdex 2001 in November • “The Tablet takes cutting-edge PC technology and makes it available wherever you want it, which is why I'm already using a Tablet as my everyday computer. It's a PC that is virtually without limits -- and within five years (3.25 years and counting) I predict it will be the most popular form of PC sold in America." [PCs with Tablet capabilities] • (Bill Gates Keynote Speech, Comdex 2001, downloaded from HTTP://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2001/.

  11. What’s the Fuss?

  12. Bill Gates-- Continued • "The kind of devices we'll be working against, the user interface ... will be fundamentally different than it is today. People will look back and say, … • 'Wow! Why did I buy a PC that was big and I couldn't take it to a meeting and I couldn't talk to it? What was that all about?'" • July 3, 2000 (US News and World Report)

  13. Customers? • IDC-- Sales • Toshiba reported 2x sales than expected. • IDC, the market research firm, predicted that between 575,000 and 775,000 will be sold 2003. • IDC, by the end of 2005, 17.3 million units would be in use capturing 11% of the computer market. • Bill Gates – Most popular PC by 2006. Over ½ computers sold will have Tablet capabilities. • (PC Magazine)

  16. Tablet-like PC CapabilitiesGrowth Projection

  17. The Growth of Handhelds/Phones PC Magazine – July, 2003 Michael J. Miller “Intel predicts that by the end of the decade there will be… 2.5 billion phones with more processing power than today’s PCs.”

  18. The Growth of Speech • U.S. News & World Report– 5/12/03 • 2002 = $680 million • 2006 = $2.2 billion. • Bill Gates 1998 • “Speech is not just the future of Windows, but the future of computing itself.” • February 23, 1998 (Business Week)

  19. "When you get the small form factor device, the idea of having speech recognition, fits right into that because it's not as easy to type on a small device.” • Bill Gates, July 3, 2000 (US News and World Report) • "The day is coming when every object big enough to hold a chip actually has one. We'd better be able to talk to these objects because very few of them will have room for a keyboard.” • M. Mitchell Waldrop, January, 2001 (Technology Review )

  20. The Dragon Scalewww.SpeakingSolutions.com/news IBM ViaVoice 10 PC Mac Enhanced or OS X L&H Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7 Microsoft Office XP Speech Recognition

  21. PC MagazineEditor’s Choice • Snippets from the review read, “-Scansoft's Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 7 makes dictation, correction, and voice control of your PC faster and easier than any voice recognition software yet. It continues: • "After the required 5 minutes of training, our initial accuracy for dictation ranged from 90 percent to 95 percent (depending on the document) … After an hour or so of dictation, correction, and retraining, accuracy rose to between 96 and 98 percent." • “If you want to save time typing or control your PC by voice, Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 7.0 is now the one to beat.” • “Surprisingly, we could easily navigate and correct our dictations by voice with minimal command errors, something we could not do easily with Release 10 of IBM ViaVoice (December 3, 2002, page 46).” • (Retrieved May 6, 2003: http://www.pcmag.com Greg Alwag • USNews (May 12, 2003) = 1 or 2 errors per 100 = 98%-99%

  22. PC MagazineFour Stars • IBM ViaVoice's Pro USB 9 received a superb review as well. "ViaVoice pro is a great choice for executives or any two-fingered typists who want affordable, fast, accurate dictation."It continues: • “IBM is now shipping a Plantronics USB/DSP-300 headset with this high-end Pro version which lists for $229.95 … We found the high-end Plantronics stereo microphone extremely responsive. It's the best mike we've seen included with a speech recognition product.” • (Retrieved March: http://www.pcmag.com click Reviews Software:Speech Recognition.) • USNews (May 12, 2003) = 2 or 4 errors per 100 = 96%-97%

  23. PC Magazine • Reviews are often harsh for Office XP Speech. Fine for exploratory classes, helps with injury prevention. I feel I’m back in 1997 . . . (www.speakingsolutions.com/news): • "We had similar initial results with Microsoft Office XP, but accuracy increased more slowly and remained at about 90 to 95 percent because of the lack of correction options." • (Retrieved March: http://www.pcmag.com click Reviews Software:Speech Recognition.)

  28. The Holy Grail of Computer Input 1950’s 1960’s 1970’s

  29. The Input Technologies or “DigiTools” Revolution NBEA’s National IT Standards admonish students to,“Use a variety of input technologies”and: • "Develop proper input techniques (e.g., keyboarding, scanning, speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and the use of a touch screen or mouse), including safety methods to avoid repetitive strain injury."(Page 85, National Standards for Business Education, www.nbea.org, ISBN 0-933964-56-0)

  30. The Input Technologies or “DigiTools” Revolution The Policies Commission for Business and Economic Education is a national-level commission representing the ACTE or Association for Career and Technical Education/Business Education Division, Delta Pi Epsilon, and the National Business Education Association or NBEA. Policy Statement 73: This We Believe about Computer-Input Technologies: • “The policy asks Business Education teachers to “...take the lead in using, teaching, and integrating computer-input technologies into the curriculum."

  31. The Input Technologies or “DigiTools” Revolution “Trends in technology require business educators to provide opportunities for all students to learn the new technologies and techniques that are emerging in today’s workplace. Current technologies include speech recognition; handwriting recognition tools, such as Tablet PCs; Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and other handheld devices; and scanners. While touch keyboarding techniques remain a viable foundation for entering and manipulating text and data, other skills include composing, editing, enunciating, electronic handwriting, and scanning. Educators must provide instruction on a variety of input technologies for successful academic, professional, and personal applications.” (www.SpeakingSolutions.com/news/art16.htm)
