Voxeo Talks

Every year at SpeechTEK we try to do something crazy… last year it was running a 2,000 port IVR system on a cluster of really low-end commodity netbooks… the year before it was demonstrating the world’s first IVR system that could install in a matter of minutes on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (along with certain, um, T-shirts we gave out)…

This year we have this HUGE project to ship a 10,000 port VoiceXML IVR system with speech recognition to show in the booth. I mean, given that we demo’d 2,000 ports on netbooks last year, we had to go higher, didn’t we? It’s kind of crazy… and added a whole set of extra logistics… figuring out what kind of power availability we have in the booth… looking at an extremely high shipping bill… trying to find room for the equipment racks inside our booth…

And naturally we’re finalizing all this the week before the show starts! Yeah, it’s crazy… but we’ve got to do it… who wants to be just another boring booth at a show? Will we make it? What will our shipping bill be like? Will we get all 10,000 ports of VoiceXML IVR up and running in time? Stay tuned…

Visit our booth at SpeechTEK next week and you’ll be able to see for yourself…
