  Research & applications in speech science & technology.

  A newsgroup for the discussion of application and research issues 
  associated with speech technology and speech science.
  By nature speech technology is an inter-disciplinary field and the 
  newsgroup should reflect this.  Computer application is the basic
  theme of the group.  This includes:
   
  Speech Recognition - discussion of methodologies, training, 
     techniques, results and applications.  This should cover the 
     application of techniques including HMMs, neural-nets and so on 
     to the field. 
  Speech Synthesis - discussion concerning theoretical and practical
     issues associated with the design on speech synthesis systems.
     Speech Coding and Compression - both research and application matters.
  Phonetic/Linguistic Issues - coverage of linguistic and phonetic issues 
     which are relevant to speech technology applications.  Could cover 
     parsing, natural language processing, and prosodic work.
     Speech System Design - issues relating to the application of
     speech technology to real-world problems.  Includes the design of
     user interfaces, the building of real-time systems and so on.
  Other matters - relevant conferences, books, public domain software, 
     hardware, and related products and so on.
