Another thing IBM did about a year ago to accelerate the company’s ability to offer speech-enabled applications that are “truly useful” to the average person was to integrate its speech research into its core software group, said Dan Miller, an analyst with Opus Research in San Francisco.

“[This] means they’re willing to bring solutions that involve the full line of WebSphere middleware and application servers along into solutions that indeed involve speech,” he said.

IBM’s long-standing tradition of innovation also brings credibility to speech-enabled applications and could inspire more people to use them, Miller added.
