label: Description
content: The materials, along with the rest of the accession and acquisition 2010.3016, are a gift of James White Glenn (born 1936). Born in South Dakota, Glenn received an undergraduate degree in mathematics from the University of Colorado and then an MS (also in math) from Catholic University – the latter in 1965. He soon was working for Scope Electronics, Inc. in Reston, Virginia where he participated in DARPA-funded studies on the use of voice in controlling and learning the state of helicopters. By the 1980s Glenn had his own consulting firm, Glenn Associates (also in Virginia) and had established the magazine Speech Technology – which continues to this day, though not under his leadership. He also wrote general accounts of voice recognition in the period.
