Subject: NOT QUITE HUMOR, BUT POSSIBLE FUN: Voice collection
From the sore hands bulletin board, through a friend with
keyboard discomfort. (Let's try to keep the date attached so
this doesn't circulate forever.)

Voice Processing Corporation, based in Cambridge, MA, is currently
working to make over the telephone speech recogition reality rather
than science fiction.
To train our recognizer, we need to collect a large amount of over the
tlephone speech. To help collect this data, we are asking for two
simple favors. The first is that you call us collect at
(617) 494-0100 during normal East coast business hours and ask to do
an automated data collection. It is self-expanatory and takes three
minutes. The second is that you forward this message to any
individual or mailing list you know of which has an interest in
promoting technology. We need callers from all over the United States
with varying accents and dialects. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dave DeCaprio
