Book Synopsis Computer Speech Technology by : Robert Rodman
Download or read book Computer Speech Technology written by Robert Rodman. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book is the first to provide a truly understandable, non-technical overview of all the major areas in the computer processing of human speech -- speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker recognition, language identification, lip synchronization, and co-channel separation. It takes a unique, nonmathematical approach in exploring the nature of human language and its impact on the science and methodologies of computer voice technology. In one, easy-to-read source, you gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals, uses, and applications of the technology itself and of the strengths and weaknesses of various systems. A time-saving glossary of technical terms is included.

Book Synopsis The Voice in the Machine by : Roberto Pieraccini
Download or read book The Voice in the Machine written by Roberto Pieraccini. This book was released on 2012-03-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of more than sixty years of successes and failures in developing technologies that allow computers to understand human spoken language. Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey famously featured HAL, a computer with the ability to hold lengthy conversations with his fellow space travelers. More than forty years later, we have advanced computer technology that Kubrick never imagined, but we do not have computers that talk and understand speech as HAL did. Is it a failure of our technology that we have not gotten much further than an automated voice that tells us to “say or press 1”? Or is there something fundamental in human language and speech that we do not yet understand deeply enough to be able to replicate in a computer? In The Voice in the Machine, Roberto Pieraccini examines six decades of work in science and technology to develop computers that can interact with humans using speech and the industry that has arisen around the quest for these technologies. He shows that although the computers today that understand speech may not have HAL's capacity for conversation, they have capabilities that make them usable in many applications today and are on a fast track of improvement and innovation. Pieraccini describes the evolution of speech recognition and speech understanding processes from waveform methods to artificial intelligence approaches to statistical learning and modeling of human speech based on a rigorous mathematical model—specifically, Hidden Markov Models (HMM). He details the development of dialog systems, the ability to produce speech, and the process of bringing talking machines to the market. Finally, he asks a question that only the future can answer: will we end up with HAL-like computers or something completely unexpected?
