B. Text-to-Speech and Speaker Verification Technology
The quality of text-to-speech synthesis is increasingly important. The success of some systems depends not only on understanding what the caller wants, but also on delivering the information by voice in an acceptable manner. Other systems require authentication of the user before providing information. This session addresses the products and markets for these technologies.
