(Endorsed by ISAAAC & BCS disability group) We would like to invite you to participate and/or attend this forthcoming event to be held July 8th - July 10th at the University of Sheffield, UK. details can be found at: http://www.pmartland.freeserve.co.uk/meeting/meet2toc.htm This congress is open to all who have an interest in speech input communication technology - from dictation systems/software to environmental control. Users/ employers/ educators and those who work in caring capacities within this remit are especially important to the congress, and we would welcome your contributions. Unusually, this congress will allow video presentations for those who would like to say something, but would feel uncomfortable at the thought of giving a 'live' presentation. We must stress that you do not have to contribute to attend, but if you would like to and are unsure that you would be able to meet the current abstract deadline (26th May), then please contact me directly at [log in to unmask] (an abstract need only be a short description of your presentation of up to 200 words).This does not apply however to purely academic contributors. For academics and researchers, the fields for which abstracts are accepted are given in the details. However, if there is an area that you feel we have missed, please feel free to submit. We will consider any areas relevant to the congress re-mit. Commercial organisations are also welcome to apply to demonstrate/exhibit their products at the Congress, and should either e-mail [log in to unmask] directly, or use the appropriate section of the booking form at the web address above. Please note that the booking form can be accessed directly at: http://www.pmartland.freeserve.co.uk/meeting/meet2_booking.htm and has been divided into sections so that you can: book a place(s), submit an abstract, ask for help/assistance of any kind/ register for e-mail updates/ apply for demonstration/exhibition space (commercial). Those who have registered interest in the past, and those who attended Talking to Computers I need not re-submit for updates.
