Speech Applications in Mobile Computing to Triple by 2014
As individuals around the world become more accustomed to using mobile computing devices in hands-busy, eyes-busy environments, the market for speech recognition technologies within these devices is expected to gain considerable traction within the next five years. In a new report, market analyst Datamonitor predicts the global market for advanced speech recognition (ASR) in mobile handsets will increase from $32.7 million in 2009 to $99.6 million in 2014. That for ASR in in-vehicle telematics is expected to grow at a similar rate, from $64.3 million in 2009 to 208.2 million by 2014. more

Silent Revolution of Speech I/O in Mobile Phones
Not long ago, speech I/O was heralded as the "idealistic" way to interact with mobile phones and the next great technology revolution. Like many of the initial technology leaps in mobile phones, the truth did not live up to anywhere near the expectation. This resulted in inefficient I/O, frustration with the technology and a terrible user experience. The reasons for this are manifold, but the initial limitations can be distilled down to a combination of the unrealistic expectations of end-users, the limited memory and processing capabilities of handsets and the speech I/O technologies themselves. more
