Description

Introduction

This brief outlines the trends in voice business devices, explains how this has shaped our research agenda for 2007, and highlights the pertinence of our 2007 research to your business targets for the year.

Scope

Proliferation of speech applications in mobile computing. Emerging speech applications in desktop environments.

Highlights

On any given day, a single consumer engages multiple computing devices under circumstances which vary widely, and business uses can be even more diverse. If vendors can provide a consistently reliable speech solution that focuses on task completion, making multiple interfaces available to the user can only benefit all parties. Speech recognition engines, while critical to continued progress, may face difficulties in differentiating themselves in the market. Application designers will thrive in this environment, focusing narrowly on specialized, niche applications that feature limited vocabulary and grammar. We expect to see more innovative, niche uses of speech, but do not expect growth in this area to be extraordinary until recognition rates further improve, prices drop, the population of application designers increases and education and market awareness expands.
