Translating current academic research and practices into layman's terms, the author allows sci-fi buffs to explore and understand the technology behind the artificial life forms used in popular TV and film. It compares these life forms with current technology to see if such advanced beings could be ... More

Naturalness in synthetic speech is one of the most intractable problems in information technology today. Although speech synthesis systems have improved considerably over the last 20 years, they rarely sound entirely like human speakers. Why is this so, and what can be done about it? LI>Prosodic pro...

For those involved in designing and implementing systems for human-machine interface via voice, authors Laurence Rabiner and Biing-Hwang Juang offer a comprehensive examination of the principles and underlying theory of speech recognition. This book provides a theoretically sound, technically accura... More

Winner, 2007 International Communication Association Outstanding Book Award for 2005-2006. Interfaces that talk and listen are populating computers, cars, call centers, and even home appliances and toys, but voice interfaces invariably frustrate rather than help. In "Wired for Speech," Clifford Nass... More

We are surrounded by noise; we must be able to separate the signals we want to hear from those we do not. To overcome this 'cocktail party effect' we have developed various strategies; endowing computers with similar abilities would enable the development of devices such as intelligent hearing aids ...
