“I am an Art Director in advertising. My given name is Åsk (if you can’t spell it, stick to Dabitch please). I love ads. Put up the wee pathetically first edition of Adland back in April 96. It grew. My credentials are pretty damn good actually…” Make sure to check out the always fun similarity comparisons on the Badland page.

By Raymond Pirouz: “When you stop to think about all of the unique disciplines that need to work in harmony to create a solid, usable, and attractive interface, it’s no wonder that the Web is filled with so many horrific attempts at interface design. Too many Web developers assume that interface design is nothing more than decorative ‘button-making.’ In reality, the term ‘interface design’ is fundamentally the humanization of the non-human — the creation of an easy way for people to seamlessly interact with complex objects or technology. Its roots lie deep in computer science, industrial design, cognitive psychology, ergonomics, audiovisual design, animation, and graphic design.”

VoiceXML is designed for creating audio dialogs that feature synthesized speech, digitized audio, recognition of spoken and DTMF key input, recording of spoken input, telephony, and mixed-initiative conversations.

“Intrigued by the idea of voice access to back-end applications, my research into VoiceXML and related technologies led me across the path of a very cool online tool that supports 100% online VoiceXML application development. The online development tool (and let me say that this may be the first time I’ve ever referred to a Web site as a ‘development tool’!) is Tellme Studio and it is a living testament to the power of XML-based technologies.”
