Software firm seeks tech-staff with autism

German software giant SAP AG says it plans to recruit people with autism to take make full use of their talents to process information.
Autism is a developmental disorder characterised by difficulties in communicating, emotional detachment and rigid or repetitive behavior. But some people with mild autism can perform complex mathematical tasks much better than the average population.
"SAP sees a potential competitive advantage to leveraging the unique talents of people with autism, while also helping them to secure meaningful employment," the Walldorf, Germany-based software maker said.
An estimated one per cent of the world population has a form of autism and the company wants to reflect that in its 65,000-strong workforce, spokesman Hilmar Schepp told The Associated Press.
The jobs for which SAP will be recruiting people with autism include software testing, programming and quality assurance.
The announcement follows a pilot project SAP undertook in India which resulted in productivity improvements, the company said. It will be expanded to the United States, Canada and Germany this year.
The company is partnering with Danish company Specialisterne, which helps people with autism work in technology jobs. Specialisterne has previously worked with Microsoft and SAP's rival Oracle. Learn More....

Google Adds Conversational Search In Latest Chrome Build, We Go Voice On

Google has updated Chrome in build 27 to include conversational voice search, a feature it demoed on stage at Google I/O this year that allows you to search by voice, but also transcribes your queries in real time and lets you use natural language, asking Google straightforward questions and getting straightforward answers, both read back to you by dictation and in actual Google search results. The transcription feature is awesome, since you can actually watch Google try to anticipate what you’re going to say and then adapt in real time to the right query.
