The 2016 Speech Industry Implementation Awards

Speech technology is only as good as the outcomes it delivers. When it comes to results, our four Implementation Award winners didn’t disappoint. This year, we recognize deployments that have enabled consumers to interact with their TVs using voice commands; reduced unproductive time by 800 hours per month at a consumer banking company; increased reimbursement by $23 million at a hospital; and improved conversion rates by ensuring script adherence at an online English language school. While all four Implementation Award winners come from different industries and yield different results, their deployments suggest one common trend—speech technology’s value to organizations and end users continues to climb.
