As speech recognition technology is now good  enough for a number of applications and the core technology is well  established around hidden Markov models many of the differences  between systems found in the field are related to implementation  variants. We distinguish between embedded systems and PC-based  applications. Embedded applications are usually cost sensitive and  require very simple and optimized methods to be viable.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eRobust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC  Applications\u003c\/em\u003e reviews the problems of robust speech recognition,  summarizes the current state of the art of robust speech recognition  while providing some perspectives, and goes over the complementary  technologies that are necessary to build an application, such as  dialog and user interface technologies.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cem\u003eRobust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC  Applications\u003c\/em\u003e is divided into five chapters. The first one reviews  the main difficulties encountered in automatic speech recognition when  the type of communication is unknown. The second chapter focuses on  environment-independent\/adaptive speech recognition approaches and on  the mainstream methods applicable to noise robust speech recognition.  The third chapter discusses several critical technologies that  contribute to making an application usable. It also provides some  design recommendations on how to design prompts, generate user  feedback and develop speech user interfaces. The fourth chapter  reviews several techniques that are particularly useful for embedded  systems or to decrease computational complexity. It also presents some  case studies for embedded applications and PC-based systems. Finally,  the fifth chapter provides a future outlook for robust speech  recognition, emphasizing the areas that the author sees as the most  promising for the future.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eRobust Speech Recognition in Embedded Systems and PC  Applications\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a valuable reference and although not  intended as a formal University textbook, contains some material that  can be used for a course at the graduate or undergraduate level.
