Another Day, Another Demo
In preparation for next week's dog and pony show, I've revamped our ZipCity demo of Sphinx4. Now when you speak a zip code, ZipCity will show the location of the city on the map of the continental USA. Here's a screenshot:
You can try it out here: ZipCity Version 2.
This is still, as far as I know, the only downloaded app in the world that includes a speech recognizer.
The new look of ZipCity was heavily inspired by Ben Fry's zipdecode. Mr. Fry specializes in developing systems for visualizing large and changing sets of data. His MIT website has numerous novel examples. Well worth checking out.
