Conversational computers

Article Abstract:

New speaking machines can modulate tone and expression to better communicate meaning to users. These computer-generated voice transactions will soon find applications in mobile electronic devices such as automotive navigation systems and at some point, video and computer games and even films will take advantage of lifelike artificial speech capabilities.
