Please note that some of the websites listed below are occasionally re-organised and pages are moved. So rather than provide a link directly to a page within a site, which may become a ‘dead link’ very quickly, we have linked to the home page of most organisations. Most sites have a search facility. If the resources are not obvious from the front page, simply search for “SpeechRecognition” to find them.
