For all the whiz-bang graphics and nifty apps appearing on smart phones these days, there are still few things that feel more futuristic than pulling out your phone, uttering the words, "find directions to the Exploratorium", and having Google immediately do your bidding. The technology is becoming widely available via apps on the iPhone and deep integration into Android, and this is really only the beginning. Earlier this month I had the chance to sit down with Mike Cohen, the man who leads all of Google's speech technology efforts, to get a look behind the curtain at why Google has invested so much into voice, and where things are going from here. A Look Back Before we discuss where we stand now, it's worth looking at Cohen's past, which also serves as a good history lesson on speech technology. Cohen has been at Google since 2004, but he's been straddling the�intersection of voice and technology for decades, getting his start at the Stanford Research�Institute�in the early 1980s.
