Keynote Speaker
John Kominek (CTO, Vocitec Inc.)
Bio: John is a Voci co-founder, and brings the company successful start-up experience along with extensive expertise in speech technologies. In his first start-up, John was co-founder of the highly successful Quack.com, the first company to enter the voice portal business (and later acquired by AOL). At Quack, he led the engineering teams responsible for the fusion and structuring of voice-searchable data, and for the development of the text-to-speech architecture. Prior to Voci, John worked for Automated Speech Technologies, where he developed extremely low bitrate speech codecs based on vocabulary independent speech recognition. He has over 40 research publications and is the holder of five US patents. John earned his BS in Honours Physics and his MS in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, and his PhD from the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon.
