The purpose is to promote the study and application of automatic speech processing (in two directions: speech recognition and speech synthesis) with several sub-topics such as speaker recognition or speech compression. The activity of the association concerns all aspects of speech processing, from the computational aspects to the linguistic aspects as well as the theoretical aspects.

The first ISCA event was held in 2000 in Beijing, China.[3]
