IBM Technology Is Key Element In Preserving Interviews With Holocaust Survivors Test Of Speech Recognition Transcribed interviews will be controlled by the Shoah Visual History Foundation.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)
Byline: DOUG TSURUOKA
History has a way of turning full circle.
Last year, a book alleged that a German unit of IBM Corp. sold punch-card machines to Hitler. The book said the Nazis used the machines to help identify Jews and run the death camps, among other things.
Six decades after World War II, IBM's technology is being used quite differently.
A pioneering IBM speech-recognition technology is transcribing some 100,000 hours of interviews from survivors of the Holocaust.
The world's largest computer company and several universities applied to the National Science Foundation for a grant for the project. Grant terms haven't been released.
But the company says the transcription project isn't a bid to mend its image following the release of Edwin Black's "IBM and the Holocaust," published in 2001 by Random House.
