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.
