Why I Want my Voice Assistant to Speak Spanglish | Manuel Pérez-Quiñones | TEDxUNCCharlotte

More than half of the world is able to speak more than one language, yet voice assistant systems operate using languages separately instead of allowing multilingual speakers to transition between languages. Dr. Manuel Pérez-Quiñones shares how his bilingualism shapes how he experiences the world and why his voice assistants should speak Spanglish. Recorded August 21, 2020. Manuel is a Professor of Software and Information Systems at UNC Charlotte. Manuel’s research interests include educational, cultural, and diversity issues in computing, personal information management, and human-computer interaction. Manuel holds a Ph.D. of Science from George Washington University and a B.A. and M.S. from Ball State University. Manuel has been a National Science Foundation CAREER Awardee, published over 100 refereed articles and co-authored several book chapters. Manuel is originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico and is fascinated by genealogy, having tracked his family history back to Spain in the late 1800s. Manuel loves to listen to salsa music but regularly attends punk rock concerts (for his kids). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
