Presentation
Description
Exclusive web templates. web templates are a bit costly and will ensure that the web templates is not resold to any other customer Independent of the market positioning of
the specific PocketPC or PDA, the convergence of these devices
with mobile cell phones, and with the integration of speech
recognition engines, the need for a microphone to perform
these tasks is obvious. However, the type of microphone(s)
or microphone technologies to embed within the device is
critical. Will the user want to activate the VR (voice recognition)
or the cell phone in a far field setting? [The device being
greater than three inches from the users mouth]. Will the
user want to dictate a report while in a noisey environment?
Will the user want to command & control his contacts
list while driving a vehicle hands-free? In order for any
of these scenarios to work properly and to expected efficiencies,
acoustic technologies will be the key. The technologies,
advantages, trade-offs, cost, and integration will be discussed,
described, and summarized.

Profile
Currently, I am the Product Manager for
basic single element microphones up to DSP-based acoustic
input technologies for all global industries related to
telephony and voice recognition. This includes the convergence
of Pocket PCs and PDAs with mobile phones to the telematics
space in the automotive industry.
My background is heavily weighted to telecommunications
and automotive. I had been an engineer in the automotive
industry for ten years and a product/market manager in the
telecommunications industries for five years. My education
includes a MS in Engineering and an MBA.
Public speaking includes forums such as
AVIOS 2001 and a panel guest at the Detroit Auto Interiors/Telematics
Show. I do not have any teaching experience.
As the product manager I MUST be the keeper
of the technology, the evolvement of the market segments,
the companies leading the way, and the "come to"
person when the customer or opportunity is exploring the
integration of these technologies to their products.
