*Jon Malkin, PhD student in Linguistics will talk on the Vocal Joystick.  In
his own words:

Consider the following SAT analogy:
speech recognition:keyboard::______:mouse
Lacking good technology for the blank, we created the Vocal Joystick.
We can control a mouse pointer, our own drawing program, and even a
robotic arm. Come hear how we do it and what it sounds like.
