"Automatic speech recognition (ASR) offers the most natural means for humans to interact with computers. Instead of having to input information through a computer keyboard or telephone keypad, users can simply speak their command. In the telecommunications industry, issues such as cost reduction and the development of new revenue streams play an important role in the deployment of new technologies. ASR is currently serving both sides of this equation. While ASR has yet to reach a mass-appeal level, the Yankee Group believes this technology is still in search of the "killer application" that will transform it into a key enabler of next-generation services such as multimedia."--P.
