Abstract

We demonstrate two alternative frameworks for testing and evaluating spoken dialogue systems on mobile devices for use “in the wild”. We firstly present a spoken dialogue system that uses third party ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text-To-Speech) components and then present an alternative using audio compression to allow for entire systems with home-grown ASR/TTS to be plugged in directly. Some advantages and drawbacks of both are discussed.
