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.
