A revolution is in
the offing, and speech recognition is the catalyst.
Around the world, applications rooted in speech technology are
winding their way into a myriad of markets and industries. In public
networks, speech technologies have been deployed to create a bevy of
new services while enhancing old ones, transforming the telephone into
a more dynamic medium. Four major telephony areas have been born or
redefined due to speech recognition: voice dialing, voice portals,
unified messaging, and telematics. Eventually, the phenomenon will
envelope traditional dial tone, replacing it with universal speech
dialing and command. As the phone becomes the access point to Web,
email, unified communications and in-car services, voice activation
will convert the phone into a more fluent and vibrant human extension.
Meanwhile, speech
technologies are helping enterprises improve their internal telephone
services and mobile systems. They are being deployed in speech-enabled
call routing, auto attendant, directory assistance, and virtual
personal assistants. Throughout the world, speech recognition in
contact centers is being embraced to control and reduce costs, enhance
customer service, and improve sales.
Speech recognition is on the move, and it is gathering
momentum.
