Good news! We are really close to announcing our new speech reco writer. He is someone that has spent quite a bit of time in the speech reco area and he'll have quite a bit of user experience to pass along.

Until then, you might want to check out this post from Carl Franklin, who talks about his success with Vista and speech recognition. As Microsoft's Rob Chambers mentions in this article pointing to Carl, the Speech Reco team just released MSR macros to help folks get things done a lot quicker using voice commands, so that out to make Carl even happier.

As we cover the areas of mobile and natural input technologies, we do a thorough job of covering ink, tablet pc, touch, ultra-mobile pcs, multi-touch, mobility, accessories, and more. One of the most overlooked areas for us, though, is that of Speech Recognition.

It is our desire to cover speech recognition technologies as thoroughly as we do other natural input technologies, but we need an expert in that area to help us.

We are looking for a writer that can cover the day to day news in the speech reco space, especially as it applies to mobile computing; as well as develop feature articles on speech reco technologies as implemented in various OS's, how-to's, accessories, etc.

If you are interested in being a part of Team GBM and helping to develop that area for us, please send two sample articles in a GBM style, along with your experience in speech reco technologies, to rob@gottabemobile.com. If you are a current GBM reader or forum member, then all the better.
