About the author

Alyssa Yorgan
Alyssa Yorgan has worn many hats in the localization industry, starting off as a translator and moving into subsequent roles in project and account management. She started her journey down the path of localization at Yandex in Moscow and is frequently mistaken for a native Russian. While at Yandex, she was hand-selected (i.e. the only American woman in the office) to be “Alice,” the English-language synthesized voice for Yandex’s SpeechKit speech recognition technology. Her enthusiasm for this eclectic industry knows no bounds, and she enjoys helping clients draw connections between the latest advancements in L10N and their specific business goals. As a recovering academic, she loves a good dive into the deep end of the research pool (as long as you can actually do something with the findings when you come up for air).
