May long distance telephone companies offer automated directory services where a caller can select among a set of options by speaking the number instead of pressing a key on the phone. This is a type of speech recognition software that is speaker independent. Suppose a marketer proposes to simply repackage this software and offer it as a alterative to keyboard input for a computer. Analyze this proposal and give your opinion.

What will be an ideal response?

The weakness in the marketer’s plan is the fact that speaker independent systems can recognize far fewer words than would be needed for using a computer for such things as filling in a form and navigating among Web pages.
