An Abbreviated Guide to Planning for Speech Interaction with Machines: The State of the Art.

The paper provides an overview of the field of speech interaction with machines, both at the level of speech pattern discrimination and at the level of understanding and generating natural language. It is not an exhaustive report, space considerations among other factors rendering complete coverage impractical, though the references given will allow the interested reader to dig deeper. What is provided is a signposting of major recent highlights, to allow realistic appraisal of the current and probable future possibilities in voice interaction with machines. Those planning man-machine systems can no longer afford to ignore even the current possibilities.
