Language and speech technologies, after decades of research and development, have reached near-market maturity where specialist companies are now offering value added services and solutions to a broad spectrum of potential users. LangTech 2003, the second edition of the European forum for language technology, offers a platform for the Language and Speech technology community – developers, integrators, entrepreneurs, adopters and users. Europe Contact Center endorses this event as Media Partner.
The conference topics address the latest technology breakthroughs and are presented by experienced practitioners in the field – either adopters/users stressing the feasibility of the technology, or by solution providers presenting successful case studies.
Practical solutions and near-market research results are presented during the conference and in the accompanying exhibition, showing state-of-the-art products and solutions.
