An approach to speech synthesis and recognition on a digital computer

Published:01 January 1966Publication History

ABSTRACT

The economics of storing, organizing, and interrogating the ever-increasing data bases that computer users have to deal with dictates the use of large computers located alongside tape libraries that store the data. Such computers and libraries will necessarily serve a large population of widely scattered users. Moreover, many of the users may not be trained as computer programmers and their interests may not lie in the area of techniques of man-machine communications.

Such an increase in the number of users, in the diversity of the users' backgrounds, and in the physical separation between the users and computers introduces severe inconveniences. Several methods interrogating computers from remote locations, such as teletype installations, video displays, or other “remote consoles” are now available for reducing the adverse effects of physical separation between the users and their computers.
