This book provides a cross-disciplinary reference to speech inmobile and pervasive environments
Speech in Mobile and Pervasive Environments addresses the issues related to speech processing onresource-constrained mobile devices. These include speechrecognition in noisy environments, specialised hardware for speechrecognition and synthesis, the use of context to enhancerecognition and user experience, and the emerging softwarestandards required for interoperability. This book takes amulti-disciplinary look at these matters, while offering an insightinto the opportunities and challenges of speech processing inmobile environs. In developing regions, speech-on-mobile is set toplay a momentous role, socially and economically; the authorsdiscuss how voice-based solutions and applications offer acompelling and natural solution in this setting.
Key Features
* Provides a holistic overview of all speech technology relatedtopics in the context of mobility
* Brings together the latest research in a logically connectedway in a single volume
* Covers hardware, embedded recognition and synthesis,distributed speech recognition, software technologies, contextualinterfaces
* Discusses multimodal dialogue systems and their evaluation
* Introduces speech in mobile and pervasive environments fordeveloping regions
This book provides a comprehensive overview for beginners andexperts alike. It can be used as a textbook for advancedundergraduate and postgraduate students in electrical engineeringand computer science. Students, practitioners or researchers in theareas of mobile computing, speech processing, voice applications,human-computer interfaces, and information and communicationtechnologies will also find this reference insightful. For expertsin the above domains, this book complements their strengths. Inaddition, the book will serve as a guide to practitioners workingin telecom-related industries.
