To be understood and to understand - because security matters

Government

"This is as close to immersion as you could get"
– US Military Personnel

Appropriate, accurate and engaging communications are imperative for government personnel operating internationally. With the ability to understand – and to be understood – when speaking with counterparts and civilians in overseas assignments, government and military personnel are better able to conduct their missions and complete their assignments.

Carnegie Speech's spoken language training products – SpeakIraqi™ and SpeakRussian™ – are flexible, personalized and mission-specific so that spoken communications can be effectively completed. With basic phrasal training that meets the needs of novice speakers on specific missions, to more complex language training for more sophisticated, extensive dialogue, Carnegie Speech's products are uniquely able to train government personnel to effectively communicate – when it really matters.

Research and Feedback:

To make sure our spoken language training products meet user requirements, Carnegie Speech conducted hands-on analysis and solicited feedback from leading academic institutions and military end-users. A sample of their feedback includes:

  • "If I were deploying, I'd certainly want to be part of this."
  • "The strength is that it replays what you said and you hear the correct version."
  • "It would boost my confidence."
  • "It is a very well organized system for learning language skills."
  • "It is easy to learn sentence structure from dialogue examples."

In-Q-Tel Relationship

In the government sector, Carnegie Speech works closely with In-Q-Tel, a not-for-profit, strategic investment firm that works to identify, adapt, and deliver innovative technology solutions to support the mission of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

According to Troy M. Pearsall, Executive Vice President of Architecture and Engineering at In-Q-Tel, there is high demand for Carnegie Speech's spoken language training software. In-Q-Tel's strategic partnership with Carnegie Speech will provide technology capabilities that can enhance the government's efforts to quickly and accurately assess and teach spoken language to non-native speakers.
