A contract has been established between ICSI and Appscio to create an open source, easily interfaceable, competitive accuracy, speech recognizer that comes with free pre-trained models for meetings. While the work is going on, we ask ourselves what a name for the project should be. Ideally, the name should
- have free .org and .com domains
- be not trademarked
- be an acronym that can be pronounced and sounds like a word that is easily memorizeable (Wayne).
OK, let's brainstorm....
TASR and CASPER
Bob Marsh suggested vie email:
how about 'tASR' -- or TASR -- pronounced tay-ser, as in the shock device company
or
cASpeR -- CASPER
Dorky, I know...but I did notice that Automatic speech recognition is at the top of the list that the ASR acronym stands for
Why not call it openasr?
Hi,
PRO:
- OpenASR makes the project unique. There can be only one OpenASR.
- OpenASR tells people right away what the project is about
- OpenASR.org is free, OpenASR.com might be free soon.
- I find OpenASR is a memorable project name
Contra:
- OpenASR is not an acronym that forms another memorable word
- Many projects are called open that are in fact not
- OpenASR.com is not free
invert it - ASROpen
ASROpen is prononcable ("azz-rope -in"), it puts the focus on "ASR" rather than burying us in the lists of OpenThisAndThat projects, and I don't think it is 'taken' ... not sure about foreign meanings, the closest I can come is the Al-Asr sura in the Qur'an.
Other ideas...
How about: EASR, PHASR, or PLEASR?
MySTT
MySTT would stand for "My Speech-to-Text" sort of like MySQL. MySTT is pronounceable as "Myst" and means nothing, except that there was a computer game called like this. MySTT.org is free by MySTT.com is not. It is a bandname.
So it is a good prounceable name but other people use it too.

I like MySTT
That's better than OpenASR (IMHO) ... it's reasonably clever without crossing the line into cute, it faintly evokes fun and data, and I think 'STT' is more widely-known and easier-to-grok acronym than 'ASR' for people outside the specialty
