This book provides a cross-disciplinary reference to speech in mobile
and pervasive environments
Speech in Mobile and Pervasive Environments addresses the issues
related to speech processing on resource-constrained mobile devices.
These include speech recognition in noisy environments, specialised
hardware for speech recognition and synthesis, the use of context to
enhance recognition and user experience, and the emerging software
standards required for interoperability. This book takes a
multi-disciplinary look at these matters, while offering an insight into
the opportunities and challenges of speech processing in mobile
environs. In developing regions, speech-on-mobile is set to play a
momentous role, socially and economically; the authors discuss how
voice-based solutions and applications offer a compelling and natural
solution in this setting.
