Abstract :
Automatic speech recognition technology is following the price-performance curve of much computing technology, namely, increasing functionality at decreasing price. When it also incorporates grammar and composition rules and, ultimately, natural language processing, we will see SUIs (speech-based user interfaces) overtaking GUIs, and conversational interfaces will be the standard. The author discusses her experiences of using the NaturallySpeaking speech recognition system
