Erich Reiter

Erich holds a M.Sc. in Speech and Communication Disorders from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions, and an M.Sc.in Computational Linguistics from the University of Buffalo. Erich started his career in 2004 working as a speech recognition engineer in the Silicon Valley for Nuance Communications, the original makers of SIRI. In 2012 after losing a friend to ALS, a new interest in technology for people with speech disorders emerged. Erich left Nuance in 2014 to pursue a career as a speech and language pathologist.
In 2019, Erich co-founded Say It Labs where he now combines his knowledge of artificial intelligence, speech recognition, and speech and language pathology to create speech-controlled video games for people with speech disorders.

Since the inception of Say It Labs, Erich has been a keynote speaker at the European Stuttering Specialization (formerly ECSF), and a speaker at the Oxford Dysfluency conference, the World Congress on Stuttering and Cluttering, and the National A.I. Institute for Exceptional Education.
