Hundreds of people and companies have made contributions to the comp.speech FAQ over the last few years - too many to name individually. Special thanks go to Tony Robinson and Kevin Lenzo who have provided a wide range of information and assistance. Tony Robinson also maintains the comp.speech ftp site which is an excellent resource for all people working with speech technology. I am grateful to the people at Sydney University, Cambridge University, ATR ITL and CMU for supporting the FAQ on their WWW sites.
