Lernout & Hauspie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products, or L&H, was a leading Belgium-based speech recognition
technology company, founded by Jo Lernout and Pol Hauspie, that went bankrupt in 2001. The company
was based in Ypres, Flanders, in what was then called the Flanders Language Valley (mimicking the
Silicon Valley).

History
Lernout & Hauspie was founded in 1987 by Jo Lernout and Pol Hauspie. After a difficult start, it quickly
grew, and, in 1995, it went public on the NASDAQ (LHSP), and was also quoted on the now-defunct
Brussels-based EASDAQ exchange. Its headquarters were in Ieper, Belgium, and in Burlington,
Massachusetts. At its peak, Lernout & Hauspie had a market capitalization of almost US$10 billion.
Flanders played an important role in investing in the company and the surrounding Flanders Language
Valley. Lernout & Hauspie quickly became Flanders' pride.
It acquired a number of its smaller competitors, including text-to-speech developer Berkeley Speech
Technologies, in 1996. During March-April 2000 Lernout & Hauspie acquired Dictaphone for nearly US$1
billion, then acquired Dragon Systems shortly thereafter. Lernout & Hauspie provided the voice
recognition technology needed to propel Dictaphone's voice recognition enhanced transcription system
(started by a company called Articulate Systems and sold and supported by a company called The MRC
Group - later Fonix before becoming part of L&H).[1]
For some time Lernout & Hauspie was dogged by rumours of financial impropriety, and in early 1999 the
Wall Street Journal, ran allegations in its Heard on the Street column, by Goldman Sachs analyst Robert
Smithson, that earnings had been overstated. Further investigation by Wall Street Journal staffer Jesse
Eisinger led to the revelation on 8 August 2000 of a major financial scandal involving fictitious
transactions in Korea and improper accounting methodologies elsewhere. In April 2001 founders Jo
Lernout and Pol Hauspie, as well as former CEO Gaston Bastiaens, were arrested in what is considered one

Former Siri board member: She's 'not a data hog'
by Josh Lowensohn January 30, 2012 2:28 PM PST
Summary: Someone from Siri's past has come out in defense of the software voice assistant's alleged
data hogging ways, saying each query is about 63 kilobytes of data.
Reports of Siri's bandwidth hogging ways have been greatly
exaggerated, according to a former board member of the
namesake company Apple bought in 2010.
In a guest post on Forbes this morning, former Siri and Nuance
Communications board member Gary Morgenthaler suggests that
the research report put out earlier this month by mobile network
management company Arieso--the one that claimed the voice
assistant feature led to about twice the amount of data use--is
untrue.
"Siri's average data consumed per query is less than 63 kilobytes,
according to Ars Technica; and it's a number I can confirm, having Siri: Not such a data hog after all?
served as a Siri board member for years," Morgenthaler wrote. "63 (Credit: Apple)
kilobytes by the way, relative to iCloud, YouTube, Pandora and
others, is de minimus," he added.
That Ars Technica mention is the investigation the outlet did shortly after theiPhone 4S was released,
testing a bevy of queries on Siri to see how much data the feature used. The conclusion was that the
average query slurped up 63 kilobytes of data, with some actions like visiting a Web page, or pulling up a
map then adding data on top of that, since those are separate applications and have data needs of their
own.
Arieso's study made waves this month when it suggested thatiPhone 4S users were bigger data users
than those on the iPhone 4 due to Siri, an iPhone 4S-specific feature that runs through Apple's servers
and sends snippets of voice data for processing. Arieso's study took data from more than 1 million
subscribers on a European cellular network shortly after the feature made its debut.
The study surfaced once again last week in a story in The Washington Post titled "How Siri is ruining your
cellphone service." The report suggested that the influx of data hogs on each carrier's cellular network
would eventually congest and deteriorate service, leading to dropped calls and slower data speeds.
Morgenthaler added some additional anecdotal evidence of his own to malign the Arieso report, saying
the feature itself was not creating a noticeable influx of new traffic.
"I spoke with the CTO of a major European mobile telecommunications carrier who confirmed to me that,
based on detailed analysis of mobile data traffic on their network, Siri's contribution to the increase was
'negligible,'" Morgenthaler said.
Apple, for its part, has kept its mouth shut on the claims by either party. The company did not respond to
a request for comment on Morgenthaler's defense of the feature.

Electronic Technical Support Center Connects PCs to Sykes Technician
TAMPA, FL - November 15, 1996 (NASDAQ: SYKE) - Sykes Enterprises,
Incorporated (SEi), a diverse information technology outsourcing company,
announced today a new service, Electronic Technical Support Center (ETSC), which
offers computer users a simple and easy solution to hardware and software problems.
Using ETSC combined with QAPlus diagnostic products developed by its wholly-
owned subsidiary, DiagSoft, Inc., SEi provides computer users on-line access to
support through the Internet.
Users with a computer can receive troubleshooting support with a simple click of a
button, transmitting critical system information to a support professional in one of
SEi?s seven custom-built state-of-the-art U.S. customer support centers. Information
can be received via the Internet, Intranet, direct modem-to-modem, printer or fax.
Once in depth hardware and software configuration information is downloaded, SEi?s
technician can quickly diagnose and either fix the problem or recommend solutions.
The diagnostic tools are available for systems running various operating systems,
including DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows95, and OS/2.
DiagSoft, Inc., the leading manufacturer of diagnostic, quality assurance and
performance bench-marking software for computer systems will showcase this
technology and ETSC at Comdex in the Las Vegas Hilton (Booth H405), November
