Booknews

Klevans and Rodman (North Carolina State U.) identify the diverse audience with interests in computer voice-recognition systems: researchers (in computer, speech, and human-factors); security (banks, corporations, the military, homeowners); and professionals in justice, law enforcement, education, and training. The linguist and computer scientist duo examine the major implicated tasks of feature extraction and pattern recognition, review its history since voice-print analysis of the 1960s, compare human/machine voice recognition, consider design tradeoffs, present their multigrammar segregating system for context- free voice recognition, share experimental results, and make recommendations regarding specific applications and a future research agenda.
