Abstract

This paper proposes a paradigm for using speech to interact with computers, one that complements and extends traditional spoken dialogue systems: speech for content creation. The literature in automatic speech recognition ASR, natural language processing NLP, sentiment detection, and opinion mining is surveyed to argue that the time has come to use mobile devices to create content on-the-fly. Recent work in user modelling and recommender systems is examined to support the claim that using speech in this way can result in a useful interface to uniquely personalizable data. A data collection effort recently undertaken to help build a prototype system for spoken restaurant reviews is discussed. This vision critically depends on mobile technology, for enabling the creation of the content and for providing ancillary data to make its processing more relevant to individual users. This type of system can be of use where only limited speech processing is possible.
