INTRODUCTION
Voice recognition technologies are fast realizing their long-awaited potential. Because of advances in a critical triad of cornerstone technologies, automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS) and speaker verification (SV) applications are expanding dramatically. Virtually every enterprise sector is looking to speechenabled features to help implement its models. Brokerages, airlines and banks will use them to enhance their telephone-based customer contacts and alleviate security concerns. Personal digital assistant (PDA) manufacturers hope to add speech-enabled Internet browsing. Help desk providers want to add these features to their help lines to educate users and alleviate call queues.
Realizing the promise of voice recognition technologies will require changes in customer preferences as well as the economic climate. Traditional habits persist. Many consumers still prefer to talk to a live operator. They also may remember past unsuccessful experiences with speech recognition applications. Additionally, choosing voice recognition solutions represents a significant IT investment. In the aftermath of the worldwide economic downturn of 2001, many companies find it hard to justify investing in technologies that are more strategic than obligatory to their survival.
On the other hand, properly integrated voice recognition applications and advances in these technologies could help companies realize cost savings of as much as 80%. Moreover, the continued adoption of wireless devices and the increasing demand for unlimited access to information will prompt enterprising companies to choose voice recognition solutions for competitive advantages even when the short-term economic landscape remains murky.
This BCC report emphasizes the market potential of voice recognition technologies as well as the current and future forces shaping the voice-enabled market. It will be of great importance, therefore, to chief executive officers, directors of marketing and development, strategic planners and research VPs at manufacturers of both hardware and software, as well as end users.
