Since July of 2011, I've been working with a Boulder start-up called nVoq.com.
nVoq's primary product is called SayIt, which is a SaaS-based voice recognition software that couples with a number of standard MS-windows desktop applications (IE: Word, Notepad) and also provides an SDK which allows it to be built into our partners applications.
SayIt is well-built, scalable and perfectly timed.
The more you look around the more you see that voice is becoming a more widely adopted input device of all sorts of applications, Siri on Apple and Google Voice Search come to mind. Voice recognition is a subtle science that provides great value when it's trained properly so that accuracy stays extremely high. High accuracy is a foremost concern to the usability of our application, and we do a wonderful job helping our users get to the high 90% accuracies.
My original role with the company was a contract position to tackle scalability and operational concerns for our traditional data center environments. I've since come on full time and begun work on taking our platform to "the Cloud". The challenges and opportuitines in this area are as tremend was to ous as the hype, but come at a cost and with a fair number of compromises as well. It's a fun and challenging area to grow. nVoq is a company that's in the right place and time: with a great offering and a wonderful team of which I'm proud to be a part.
It's likely if you're reading this you're one of my new compatriots, I just found you all on LinkedIn. :)
Thank you all for having me; I'm excited about what the future holds for us.
