The event “Educational day 2017”, organised by SA-Business Iceland on February 2nd, focussed on the Icelandic language and language technology. Leading persons from academia, industry, politics, and culture spoke with enthusiasm about the role and future of Icelandic and the chances within language technology. The president of Iceland, Mr. Guðni Th. Jóhannesson (whose name posed a challenge to the pronunciation talent of Amazon’s Alexa), also honoured the meeting and professed great optimism for the Icelandic language and LT. As did our representative from LVL, Jón had a talk on speech recognition, “Speaking Icelandic to computers”.
