The Human Touch

NPR has a story on the new Ask Jeeves search engine, which is apparently making efforts in the area of voice technologies -- Giving Computer Voices a 'Human Touch'. This is a somewhat drastic step for a search engine (churning out wads of page references), as it turns into a knowledge base (containing unique precise answers that can be spoken verbally). The article describes the improvement of speech technology, which has been generally geared towards achieving such realistic human-like results.

On a similar topic, the NY Times presents a new type of digital museum, in New 'Smart' Galleries, Wireless and Web-Friendly. The interaction with the user is also emphasized, via the web interface and "social computing".
