Soap \Soap\, n.

Cf. {Saponaceous}.]       A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,       and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by       combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,       usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,       potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,       palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.       {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar       composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent       or not.          Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.                Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they                are insoluble and useless.                            The purifying action of soap depends upon the                         fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of                         water into free alkali and an insoluble acid                         salt. The first of these takes away the fatty                         dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap                         lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus                         tends to remove it.                        --Roscoe &                                                                               Schorlemmer.          {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled,             made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles,             [or] Venetian, soap}.          {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of             different ingredients and color, which are hard and             compact.

SPEC rate          Results of the throughput measurement using {SPEC}       {benchmark} suites {CINT92} and {CFP92}.   With the throughput       measurement method, several copies of a given benchmark are       executed.   The method is particularly suitable for       {multiprocessor} systems.          The results, called SPEC rate, express how many jobs of a       particular type (characterised by the individual benchmark)       can be executed in a given time (The SPEC reference time       happens to be a week, the execution times are normalized with       respect to a {VAX 11/780}).   The SPEC rates therefore       characterise the capacity of a system for compute-intensive       jobs of similar characteristics.          See also {SPEC ratio}.          (1994-11-14)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
speech recognition          (Or voice recognition) The identification of       spoken words by a machine.   The spoken words are digitised       (turned into sequence of numbers) and matched against coded       dictionaries in order to identify the words.          Most systems must be "trained," requiring samples of all the       actual words that will be spoken by the user of the system.       The sample words are digitised, stored in the computer and       used to match against future words.   More sophisticated       systems require voice samples, but not of every word.   The       system uses the voice samples in conjunction with dictionaries       of larger vocabularies to match the incoming words.   Yet other       systems aim to be "speaker-independent", i.e. they will       recognise words in their vocabulary from any speaker without       training.          Another variation is the degree with which systems can cope       with connected speech.   People tend to run words together,       e.g. "next week" becomes "neksweek" (the "t" is dropped).   For       a voice recognition system to identify words in connected       speech it must take into account the way words are modified by       the preceding and following words.          It has been said (in 1994) that computers will need to be       something like 1000 times faster before large vocabulary (a       few thousand words), speaker-independent, connected speech       voice recognition will be feasible.          (1995-05-05)
