TalkNicer: Helping People Learn English

July 6, 2010 | Robert Scoble

Anyone who’s ever tried to learn a foreign language knows how tough pronunciation can be.  English is especially tricky.  Now students of English everywhere can use TalkNicer–a unique speech application that runs on a cell phone–to perfect their language skills.  The learner reads passages of text aloud and the application tells them how to improve their pronunciation.

In this interview, James Salsman, founder of TalkNicer, discusses how the application works, what else the underlying technology might do, and shares his passion for speech technology in education.
