@TECHREPORT{AICPub1400:1994, AUTHOR={Cohen, Philip R., and Oviatt, Sharon L.}, TITLE={The Role of Voice in Human-Machine Communication}, ADDRESS={333 Ravenswood Ave, Menlo Park, CA 94025"}, INSTITUTION={AI Center, SRI International}, MONTH={Jan}, NUMBER={538}, YEAR={1994}, KEYWORDS={Human-Machine Communication, Speech Recognition}, ABSTRACT={Optimism is growing that the near future will witness rapid growth in human-computer interaction using voice. System prototypes have recently been built that demonstrate speaker-independent real-time speech recognition and understanding of naturally spoken utterances moderately sized vocabularies, and larger-vocabulary speech recognition systems are on the horizon. This chapter reviews application areas in which spoken interaction may play a significant role, assesses potential benefits of spoken interaction with machines, and attempts to compare voice with alternative and complementary modalities of human-computer interaction.} }
