Science-fiction has often asserted that voice-driven interfaces would someday employ speech - not the
keyboard and screen - as the optimum user interface modality. "Instead of the clunky interfaces of
today", says Justin Rattner, Intel senior fellow and director of the corporate technology group, "we
need computing interactions to be more like a conversation". Although artificial intelligence is required for the level of interaction suggested by Hollywood,
corporate and collegiate labs are working to improve speech, and desktops are continuing to increase in processing power and RAM capacity - two key factors for better recognition performance and more
natural speech synthesis. This session will explore the past, present and likely future of speech technology, and will demonstrate how to build speech-driven interfaces in 4th Dimension using Inquire4D SUI Pack.
