Using speech recognition in a personal communications system

The authors give an overview of speech recognition systems and discuss design strategies for their use in portable communications. State-of-the-art speech recognition systems can recognize continuously spoken speech from a large vocabulary in real time. In the future, portable speech recognition systems will be made possible by advances in integrated circuit technology, by optimizing system architectures, and by exploiting the special features of personal communications systems. Types of speech recognizers are discussed. Current speech recognition systems are outlined. Personal communication systems with speech recognition are discussed
