Hello, sorry to interrupt the conversation. I am Alireza. I am the founder of Picovoice (maker of Cheetah). Thanks for mentioning the quote I heard it from few friends who used to work in Nuance. But didn't know where it came from originally. We have a very small engineering team who deeply understands machine learning and (embedded) software. I have invented/co-invented few US patents in speech processing/recognition prior to Picovoice. But have no academic background in linguistics. Having worked with computational linguists, they are definitely a solid plus to the team when their skill set is utilized correctly. I appreciate your question and curiosity. We hopefully will provide more information about the team on our website soon. Thank you.
