Voice Signal Technologies is the leading developer of compact, high performance speech recognition software for embedded systems. I reported directly to the President of the company and was responsible for researching, designing and implementing new products for the company. Company was acquired by Nuance Communications for $300 million in 2008.ACCOMPLISHMENTS Architected and implemented a client/server application for voice based searches for mobile devices. Work included client implementation under Symbian, BREW, Blackberry,IPhone and Android platforms. Server work included writing Perl and Python scripts to integrate speech recognition software with Web search engines. Work directly with product management with product definition and requirements. Gained working knowledge with embedded Linux,J2ME, Java, HTTP, XML, CGI programming, PERL, and TCP/IP.; Architected and implemented an application framework to speed integration of voice recognition software across multiple mobile platforms including Java, BREW, Symbian, and custom operating systems. This framework reduced integration effort from 10 months to 3. This architecture is currently shipping in over 100 million phones.Integrated voice recognition software for 15+ mass market cell phones for the 3 largest manufacturers in the world. Developed all aspects of application software include GUI, OS, audio and video drivers. Software was written for an ARM platform running either the REX or Nucleus RTOS. Developed a method to reduce the size of acoustic models used in voice recognition software. This technique also improved feature scoring speed allowing software to be run on cell phones with no degradation in performance.
