There are some obvious and less obvious points of contact here:

• Healthcare-military solution of the week: US Army hospital deploys speech enabled self-service telephone application.
• Some pure healthcare: UK study finds outlook on radiological reporting using speech recognition positive. Also, Bayer employs MedScan NLP technology for information extraction of biomedical literature.
• Three security applications of language technology his week: a password reset application employing speaker verification wins award, a Brazilian bank looking to employ SV for financial services applications and a university campus emergency response system using speech synthesis.
