Speech Technology and Localisation

speech-asdata, speech recognition, speech compression, voice dialogue systems This paper addresses two aspects of speech technology. The first is the use of speech rather than text as the media for information representation in a computer since speech needs no localization this approach reduces localization barriers and is also simpler for people with low levels of literacy but to help organize the speech, tools are needed which allow quick and easy access to the speech-as-data records. The second aspect is the voice dialogue system, which allows information access by telephone for this localization is necessary, and approaches to this are briefly discussed.
