Report: Speech processing for AT&T workstations

Speech processing can exploit the growing overlap of information processing and information transportation typical in many of today's advanced workstations that combine computing and telephony. With speech input and output capabilities added, the ubiquitous telephone becomes a remote terminal for the personal workstation, allowing access to its features from anywhere in the world. For example, features such as voice mail, remote access to text mail using text-to-speech synthesis, and access control using speech recognition can reduce time lost to the unproductive game of telephone tag.
