Welcome to SpeD 2027
The SpeD 2027 Organizing Committee warmly invites you to attend the 14th Conference on Speech Technology and Human–Computer Dialogue. The conference will take place between 14 and 16 October 2027 in Târgu Mureș, Romania.
The conference will bring together scientists, developers, and professionals to present their work, meet colleagues, discuss new ideas, and build collaboration between university, research centres, and commercial research groups. The technical programme will include oral sessions, keynotes by renowned speakers, and demonstrations of the latest research across a wide range of topics at the forefront of speech science and engineering.
Previous SpeD proceedings appeared in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library and are indexed in Scopus and the Web of Science (WoS) Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI).
Accepted SpeD 2027 papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore, subject to meeting its scope and quality requirements (including the no-show policy), and for indexing in Web of Science (WoS). IEEE and EURASIP technical co-sponsorship is pending approval.
