The Art and Business of Speech Recognition: Creating the Noble Voice
暫譯: 語音辨識的藝術與商業：創造高貴的聲音

This book examines both the rapid emergence and broad potential of speech-recognition applications. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of what goes into the design, production, testing and deployment of over-the-phone speech-recognition applications. They'll be introduced to design guidelines, tips, and techniques, which help ensure that an application works well and that people enjoy using it. The author uses case studies, allowing the students to see how other designers have dealt with real-life issues to solve real business problems.
