TLDR
The paper provides an overview of the field of speech interaction with machines, both at the level of speech pattern discrimination and at thelevel of understanding and generating natural language, to allow realistic appraisal of the current and probable future possibilities in voice interaction with machine.Abstract:
The paper provides an overview of the field of speech interaction with machines, both at the level of speech pattern discrimination and at the level of understanding and generating natural language. It is not an exhaustive report, space considerations among other factors rendering complete coverage impractical, though the references given will allow the interested reader to dig deeper. What is provided is a signposting of major recent highlights, to allow realistic appraisal of the current and probable future possibilities in voice interaction with machines. Those planning man-machine systems can no longer afford to ignore even the current possibilities.read more

Speech Recognition and Understanding
TL;DR: This chapter describes the techniques developed and the progress made in speech recognition and understanding in the early 1970’s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating speech recognizers
TL;DR: A standard for comparing the performance of different recognizers on arbitrary vocabularies based on a human word recognition model is developed, which allows recognition results to be normalized for comparison according to two intuitively meaningful figures of merit.

Speech technology—implications for biomedical engineering
TL;DR: The article looks at the biomedical applications of speech technology, and the techniques of speech synthesis and recognition are described first, and then the range of available products is reviewed.

Voice-input aids for the physically disabled
TL;DR: This article reviews the possibilities for exploiting low-cost speech recognizers in aids for the severely physically disabled and argues that control of the domestic environment by voice is likely to be the most fruitful area for the initial application of automatic speech recognition technology to aid the disabled.
The use of speech for man-computer communication
TL;DR: The intrisic characteristics and associated attractive features and problem areas of speech as a man-computer communication channel are investigated and the requirements these place on the application of speech understanding systems are discussed.

TL;DR: The Journal of Linguistics as discussed by the authors published this paper in three parts, in this and the two subsequent issues of the Journal of Language and Literature, in order to deal with the themes in the clause.
Book
Speech Analysis, Synthesis and Perception
TL;DR: A second edition was begun in 1970, the aim was to retain the original format, but to expand the content, especially in the areas of digital communications and com puter techniques for speech signal processing.
Book
Semantic Information Processing
TL;DR: This book solves different problems like resolving ambiguities in word meanings, finding analogies between things, making logical and nonlogical inference, resolving inconsistency in information engaging in coherent discourse with a person and more.
