Speaking prior to a special testing session of new technology during the ICC Champions Trophy, Speed confirmed cricket was looking to confirm the usefulness of a number of technological devices.
Said Speed: "After so long listening to competing views [about the use of technology to aid umpires], it's about time we stopped speculating about what might happen and found out what does happen.
"But for aids such as 'Hawkeye', the 'Snickometer' and the 'Magnifying Glass' there are sufficient doubts about their efficacy and/or the speed with which they can be accessed to say that they should not be used by the umpires."
