Using speech technology to improve communication is super important and @yuanyuanzhang.bsky.social is taking the first important steps with Matthijs Valkering. Incidentally, she shows that a personalised ASR system beats humans in recognising dysarthric speech by a large margin 🤩

Party for 1st year students near my house. All r singing "Let it go" from the top of their lungs. First thought: oh that is cute, they are singing a children's song. Then realisation hit: the song came out in 2013 when most of them were 5/6 years old. It is their childhood song! Feeling my age now.

Day 1 is a wrap! We had an amazing opening of @interspeech.bsky.social, followed by a well-attended General Assembly where I stepped down as ISCA President. The moment was a little emotional to me. Serving our amazing community for 8 years has been so rewarding.

I think it's time to discuss the downsides...
