Abstract

Over the last decade technological advances have been made which enable us to envision real-world applications of speech technologies. It is possible to foresee applications, for example, information centers in public places such as train stations and airports, where the spoken query is to be recognized without even prior knowledge of the languagebeing spoken. Other applications may require accurate identification of the speaker for security reasons, including control of access to confidential information or for telephone-based transactions.
