    • SRI International (SRI) is an American nonprofit research institute headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The trustees of Stanford University established SRI in 1946 as a center of innovation to support economic development in the region.

      The organization was founded as the Stanford Research Institute. SRI formally separated from Stanford University in 1970 and became known as SRI International in 1977. SRI describes its mission as creating world-changing solutions to make people safer, healthier, and more productive. It performs client-sponsored research and development for government agencies, commercial businesses, and private foundations. It also licenses its technologies, forms strategic partnerships, sells products, and creates spin-off companies.SRI's annual revenue in 2014 was approximately $540 million. SRI's headquarters are located near the Stanford University campus. William A. Jeffrey has served as SRI's president and CEO since September 2014. SRI employs about 2,100 people.Sarnoff Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SRI since 1988, was fully integrated into SRI in January 2011. SRI's focus areas include biomedical sciences, chemistry and materials, computing, Earth and space systems, economic development, education and learning, energy and environmental technology, security and national defense, as well as sensing and devices. SRI has received more than 4,000 patents and patent applications worldwide.

    • SRI International's Speech Technology and Research (STAR) Laboratory is recognized as a world-leading speech technology organization. Our staff of about 25 includes engineers, computer scientists, and linguists, offering a fine balance of the skills required for leading-edge development. For government and commercial clients, we offer technology creation and transfer in areas such as signal processing, phonetics/phonology, mathematical modeling, and software engineering.

      In the 1990s, SRI spun off market leader Nuance Communications (Nasdaq: NUAN) to exploit technology developed in the STAR Laboratory. Nuance's speech software solutions enable automated access to information and services using nothing more than the power of voice and an ordinary telephone.

      Our current technologies for license include EduSpeak, DynaSpeak, and the SRI Language Modeling Toolkit (SRILM).
