From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Speech Communication Association (ISCA)[1] is a non-profit organization and one of the two main professional associations for speech communication science and technology, the other association being the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

Purpose[edit]

The purpose of the association is to promote the study and application of automatic speech processing (in two directions: speech recognition and speech synthesis) with several sub-topics such as speaker recognition or speech compression. Activities concern all aspects of speech processing, including the computational, linguistic, and theoretical aspects.

The first ISCA event was held in 2000 in Beijing, China.[3]
