Speech code from IBM to become open source (News.com)

News.com carries a NY Times article on IBM's plans to release speech-recognition software to two open-source software groups. "IBM is donating code that it estimates cost the company $10 million to develop. One collection of speech software for handling basic words for dates, time and locations, like cities and states, will go to the Apache Software Foundation. The company is also contributing speech-editing tools to a second open-source group, the Eclipse Foundation."

discussed.
