Clarissa is the International Space Station's new speech-powered virtual assistant. This software eventually may help astronauts check out space suits and analyze drinking water quality -- all via voice. In the future, Clarissa has the potential to talk astronauts through thousands of important procedures related to life support systems, medical exams, and equipment checkout. The experimental Clarissa application was created using speech recognition software from Nuance, the voice automation expert. Clarissa is set to begin working with astronauts during the next six months as part of International Space Station Expedition 11. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=16513 " target="blank">www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=16513 </a></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
