An electronic archive for papers in any area of psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and many areas of computer science (artificial intelligence, robotics, vision, learning, speech, neural networks), philosophy (mind, language, knowledge, science, logic), biology (ethology, behavioural ecology, sociobiology, behaviour genetics, evolutionary theory), medicine (psychiatry, neurology, human genetics, imaging), anthropology (primatology, cognitive ethnology, archaeology, palaeontology), as well as any other portions of the physical, social, and mathematical sciences that are pertinent to the study of cognition.
 
Article from PC Magazine (July 1999) summarising the results of usability testing of several speech recognition products, including those that allow dictation into any application (not just word processors), and can perform other tasks usually controlled by a mouse. The testing shows a significant gap between the most highly rated package (Dragon NaturallySpeaking) and the rest.
 
The SpeecHTML software allows users to access Web pages over the telephone, instead of via a Web browser. This is commercial software with demonstrations and free trials available.
 
Bibliography of phonetics and speech technology.
 
A fully automated electronic archive and distribution server for papers on computational linguistics, natural
language processing, speech processing and related fields.
 
Journal covering basic and applied papers on automated reasoning, computational theories of learning, heuristic search, knowledge representation, qualitative physics, signal, image, and speech understanding, robotics, natural language understanding, and software and hardware architectures for AI. Contents dating back to 1971 are publicly available, with full text available to subscribers.
 
Betsie is software (a Perl script) which is intended to make it easier for people using text to speech systems for Web browsing. It rearranges the content of Web pages, renders text in a large, clear font, makes all frames horizontal, removes all table related tags, removes Javascript, and carries out numerous other operations. Most BBC pages are accessible via Betsie, but results from other pages are less reliable.
