"Robust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC Applications is areference for those involved in either the technology or application of speech recognition.". "Robust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC Applications reviews the problems of robust speech recognition, summarizes the current state of the art of robust speech recognition, provides perspective on the state of the art, and reviews the complementary technologies (i.e., dialog and user interface) necessary to build an application.". "This book provides a link between the worlds of speech recognition application and technology. As speech recognition technology is now good enough for a number of applications and the core technology is well established around hidden Markov models, many of the differences between systems found in the field are related to implementation variants. We distinguish between embedded systems and PC-based applications. Embedded applications are usually cost sensitive and require very simple and optimized methods to be viable."--BOOK JACKET.
