Intervoice, Inc. | Dallas, TX | |
| Senior Software Engineer | Jan 2001 - Present | ||
|
Developed software that brings people and information together by integrating speech
recognition, voice verification, and text-to-speech technology with
various browser and telephony platforms, primarily IVR's using VoiceXML. Also developed tools for tuning speech recognition applications—which involves recording audio, managing data in databases, transcribing speech, statistics reporting, and running experimental simulations—to measurably improve recognition accuracy and overall application performance. Collaberated with our customer-serving consulting services group to tune speech applications for many customers, including: Geico, T-Mobile, numerous banks such as Chase and US Bank, Continental Airlines, Baylor Medical, Sirius Radio, and the I.R.S. Currently developing tools to translate IVR applications from one platform to another (InterSoft to SCXML). InterSoft is a proprietary IVR platform that executes IQTalk applications written in InVision, the award-winning fourth-generation application design tool. SCXML is a cutting-edge open standard to define state machine applications, which can be used to control application flow while delegating specialized services (custom actions) to separate entities. |
