The International Speech Communication Association (ISCA)[1] is a non-profit organization and one of the two main professional associations for speech communication science and technology, the other association being the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
Purpose
[edit]The purpose of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) is to promote the study and application of automatic speech processing, including speech recognition and synthesis, as well as related areas such as speaker recognition and speech compression. The association's activities cover all aspects of speech processing, including computational, linguistic, and theoretical aspects.[2]
The primary goal of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA)[3] is to advance the field of automatic speech processing and communication technology through research, education, and collaboration. By promoting the study and application of speech technologies such as speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker recognition, and speech compression, ISCA aims to foster innovation and development in the areas of human-computer interaction, telecommunications, and multimedia applications.
ISCA serves as a platform for researchers, academics, industry professionals, and students to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and foster interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of speech communication science. Through conferences, workshops, publications, and educational initiatives, ISCA seeks to enhance the understanding of speech processing mechanisms, improve the accuracy and efficiency of speech technologies, and explore new frontiers in the realm of human language communication.
Furthermore, ISCA plays a crucial role in promoting international collaboration and networking among professionals in the speech communication community. By facilitating partnerships and cooperation between individuals and organizations worldwide, ISCA seeks to drive global progress in speech technology research and application, ultimately contributing to the advancement of communication systems, accessibility tools, and interactive interfaces that benefit society as a whole.

ISCA board
[edit]Current ISCA president is Odette Scharenborg. The vice president is Bhuvana Ramabhadran and the other members are professionals in the field.[4]
History of ISCA
[edit]ISCA is the result of the merge of ESCA (European Speech Communication Association created in 1987 in Europe) and PC-ICSLP (Permanent Council of the organization of International Conference on Spoken Language Processing created in 1986 in Japan). The first ISCA event was held in 2000 in Beijing, China.[5]
