E.g. text to speech synthesis may use a syntactic parsing syntactic parser on its input text and speech recognition s output may be used by e.g. information extraction techniques. Speech processing can be divided into the following categories Speech recognition , which deals with analysis of the linguistics linguistic content of a speech signal. Speaker recognition , where the aim is to recognize the Identity social science identity of the speaker. Speech coding , a specialized form of data compression , is important in the telecommunication area. Voice analysis for medical purposes, such as analysis of vocal loading and dysfunction of the vocal cords .

Orphan date February 2009 The GNOME Speech API allows developers to incorporate speech technology into user interfaces for their GNOME applications. This API specifies a cross platform interface to support command and control recognizers, dictation systems and speech synthesizers. This GSAPI release is just a specification, not an implementation. The plan is to release it to the GNOME community for review. From feedback provided by reviewers and our attempts to implement the API as defined, the specification will be refined until it provides a clean and consistent API. This will then be GNOME Speech v1.0. Note that there is currently already a gnome speech CVS module on cvs.gnome.org. This provides a simple text to speech TTS API that provides sufficient support to allow the gnopernicus screen reader to function appropriately.
