MetaLanguage

MetaLanguage for Speech Applications

Many companies involved with speech applications see the need for a higher level formalism to describe the overall arc of a complete application.

  • Many of them already use some sort of proprietory metalanguage. But they ...
    • believe that good tools will ultimately expand the speech market for them.
    • think that widely used, inexpensive (free?), standardized tools will lead to more interoperability.
    • can't justify a very large independent metalanguage development effort.
    • find it hard to get others to create compatible components in their proprietary format.
    • don't really want to manage this super-language effort.
  • In addition these companies and the speech developer population would like ...
    • an open (like?) source model
    • an opportunity to influence the form and function of the metalanguage
    • a library of higher level components that are supported by higher level methods

But there aren't enough application developers to create a conventional market for the tools and components necessary for this paradigm.

It requires a step outside the box.
