A system that improves speech recognition includes an interface linked to a speech recognition engine. A post-recognition processor coupled to the interface compares recognized speech data generated by the speech recognition engine to contextual information retained in a memory, generates a modified recognized speech data, and transmits the modified recognized speech data to a parsing component.

A thin film transistor is disclosed comprising comprises a substrate, a dielectric layer, and a semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer, which is crystalline zinc oxide preferentially oriented with the c-axis perpendicular to the plane of the dielectric layer or substrate, is prepared by liquid depositing a zinc oxide nanodisk composition. The thin film transistor has good mobility and on/off...
