Active Voice Corporation, a rapidly growing and dynamic telecommunications
software company located in Seattle, is is pleased to announce an advanced
research internship in spoken user interface design. This is a full time
internship during the summer, with the opportunity to continue as a
part-time position during the fall.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a mix of skills and research
capability in several of the following areas: natural language speech
technology (including both speech recognition and speech synthesis),
discourse analysis (how people do things with words), Computer-Human
Interface design (how should we communicate with machines?). Additional
qualifications include a background in computer science stressing
application design and knowledge of linguistics, anthropology, or
psychology. It is by no means expected that the candidate have all these
skills; we are looking for an appropriate mix.

Job description: You will aid in the research and design of a
next-generation user interface, driven by speech recognition. You will
assist in the creation/revision of the spoken dialog system (for American
English) that drives this interface and participate in testing and
refinement procedures in all phases of the development process.
