Session 6: Spoken Language Systems.
Madeleine Bates · 1994
In the way that this community uses the term, a spoken language system (SLS) is one that incorporates both speech recognition and a large amount of language understanding, generally in the context of a specific task that is being carried out by the user. A simple voice command system would not qualify as an SLS, since little or no language processing is needed to translate the recognized word(s) into the appropriate action(s).
