Using Speech Recognition
Speech recognition is becoming part of our daily lives. Hardware and software system developers, consumer product designers, researchers, and innovative computer users are creating speech recognition applications that range from voice control of dishwashers to meaningful human-computer dialogues. Using Speech Recognition is a comprehensive, unbiased examination of the speech recognition industry. It explains the technology using clear, understandable language and explores differences among existing commercial speech recognition products. Using Speech Recognition describes successful applications along with the technology and human factors involved in designing good speech recognition applications. Most chapters contain a "Technology Focus" section that explains aspects of the technology and an "Application Focus" section that addresses application-development issues.

About the author
Judith A. Markowitz
5 books1 followerI was raised in Chicago got degrees in computer science (focus AI) and linguistics. Those two areas have helped me write articles and books. In the past few years, I've been writing books about robots and their ancestors, like Frankenstein and Pinocchio.
I call them "robot-precursors" because they give us insight into how we think about robots and what we want robots to be like. My most recent book is Robots That Kill - it looks at killer robots and robot-precursors in mythology, literature, comics, manga & anime, TV and other media.
Now, I'm writing Robots That Love. It is a sister book to Robots That Kill
MORE - if you're interested.
I’ve worked as a consultant in speech and language technology for more than thirty years during which time I became the leading analyst in voice biometrics (I can explain, if you are interested. If you’re not, that’s OK, too.).
I’ve delivered numerous talks and keynotes. My publications include over 100 articles and seven books on speech, language, voice-biometrics, and robots. My most recent book is "Robots That Kill: Deadly machines and their precursors in myth, folklore, literature, popular culture, and reality" (aka "Robots That Kill"). I will likely bring flyers and gently hawk the book at any event that I attend. I’m writing a follow-up book called "Robots That Love." In 2006, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) awarded me Senior Member status – a membership grade that is held by only 8% of IEEE 480,000 members. As you can tell, I’m quite proud of that.
I’ve been active in the LGBTQ literary community. I was president of Lambda Literary and I now sponsor an annual award for emerging LGBTQ writers.
In 2013, I married my partner of more than 30 years. We have no children but we’re surrounded by a menagerie of imaginary pets.
