• Inside Sri's Star Labs

Created in SRI International's Speech Technology and Research Laboratory (STAR), the latest V2DB patent is one of about 50 patents in SRI's portfolio. Since 1946, SRI, and eventually STAR, has been conducting client-sponsored research, licensing its technologies, forming strategic partnerships, and creating spin-off companies like Nuance and Discern. STAR does research for the government and commercial sectors in all areas of speech technologies. Dozens of companies and organizations use and benefit from research done in the STAR Laboratory, fund research projects at SRI, or license resulting technology, although the general public may not be aware of the origins of the underlying speech technologies.
