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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a holistic overview of all speech technology related topics in the context of mobility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrings together the latest research in a logically connected way in a single volume\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers hardware, embedded recognition and synthesis, distributed speech recognition, software technologies, contextual interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses multimodal dialogue systems and their evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces speech in mobile and pervasive environments for developing regions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive overview for beginners and experts alike.
