Our goal at IBM is to offer the most advanced selection of speech products, in multiple languages and for a variety of operating systems.  The mission of the Human Language Technology Group is to provide the speech and language technology that forms the core of current and future products and solutions.

As you look around our web site you will find many examples of applications of speech--and no doubt you can imagine many more.  Speech will affect the entire industry, as software developers and hardware designers take advantage of the opportunities created by  the latest technology.  As we develop new technologies, we also create tools that developers can use to take advantage of speech in their own applications and solutions.  In making our vision a reality, everyone in the information technology industry will be involved.
