Speech-Recognition Technology for Computers
Abstract
Key Words: Educational Computing Column Computers Speech Recognition There have been some significant improvements in speech technology for the computer over the last 1 or 2 years. These innovations have reduced prices and generated great interest on the part of physicians and educators. We are still far from the computer that will obey your every spoken command that we have seen in the movies or in science fiction TV programs. The technology for personal computers to understand the spoken word is improving and worthy of some discussion. BACKGROUND Our desire to have a machine that could either accept or synthesize our speech has been high upon our technology "wish list" for decades. Speech technology was demonstrated at the 1939 World's Fair, but progress has been slow while we waited for both adequate hardware and sophisticated software. Even though current computers use advanced keyboards, a mouse, and a graphic interface to simplify input into the computer, most of us are not good typists and many of us have fantasized about how easy it would be if we could just "talk" instructions to our computers.
