This year's edition of Interspeech sees the introduction of a new conference application for smartphones and tablets.

The 'app', developed by the Quality and Usability Lab at TU Berlin, Germany, provides users with an up to date technical programme, access to individual abstracts and papers, a personalized schedule which can be exported to a smartphone calendar, search functionality including sessions, papers and attendees, as well as selected general information about the conference venue and local tourism. Full paper access is restricted to conference attendees.
