Hi Ray, thanks for your email request.  I hope by now someone has  
positively responded with some useful information.

I just want to draw your attention to a technology conference  
happening this year in Portland Oregon USA.  It might be of interest  
to you and your efforts.  In particular pay attention to the Special  
Sessions which might address some of your concerns.

13th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication  
Association
September 9-13, 2012
Portland, Oregon
