Market Overview
Growing Demand for Mobile Information Services Drives Advances in Speech Technology
'Industry leaders such as IBM and Siemens are catering to the growth in mobile information services, through intelligent systems for smart homes and vehicle navigation as people increasingly demand access to information on the go,' according to the analyst of this study. 'Advances in the underlying technologies for speech recognition and synthesis indicate that human-machine interactions are approaching the ideal of natural unstructured conversational speech with the only barrier being a more pervasive and unifying design for user interfaces.'
The rapid proliferation of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP)-based applications has spawned the growth of mobile information services. Speech technologies in turn are witnessing increased adoption by mobile service providers and telecommunication operators, mainly due to the availability of large vocabulary continuous speech recognition systems on small footprint devices.
Advances in Speech Technology Relies on the Need for Hands-free Computing
Voice control that enables hands-free computing is the driving force behind the technology adoption for speech technologies. However, the development of natural language automatic speech recognition needs to be addressed with a view to extending accurate speech recognition to any application that favors hands-free computing, potentially involving any theme or subject matter.
'The global market poses additional challenges for software developers that focus on conversational speech as each language is a difficult proposition on its own,' explains the analyst. 'As a result, affordable and innovative hands-free computing that mimics human communication skills in business applications holds the key to the success of speech and speech-enabled solution vendors.'
