Ron Cole and Wayne Ward founded Boulder Language Technologies in February 2007 to conduct basic and applied research leading to a new generation of computer programs that enable people to interact with computers through completely natural spoken dialogs. Ron and Wayne left the Center for Spoken Language Research (CSLR), which they co-founded in 1998, to work at BLT. In 2007, BLT was awarded two research grants, one from the Institute of Education Sciences of the Department of Education, and one from the National Science Foundation, to develop intelligent tutoring systems to improve science learning by elementary school children through spoken dialogs with a virtual tutor. We are currently developing these tutoring programs in five areas of science taught in Boulder Valley schools.
