Novauris (whose name is derived from the Latin for "new ear" or "new hearing") was founded to create a new generation of speech recognition technology that lets people search and access information easily by voice. I'll give a very informal and non-technical talk introducing the vision, people and technology of Novauris and offer a few examples of applications and demonstrations.
