Synthetic speech for real time direction-giving
Schmandt, Davis · International Conference on Consumer Electronics · 1989
The Back Seat Driver is a research prototype of a system to use speech synthesis as a navigational aid for an automobile equipped with localization equipment. We are evaluating the user interface by field trials. As this is work in progress, this paper will primarily give an overview of the system and describe its components. Included will be discussion of the map data.base, route finding algorithm, repair strategies, and the discourse generator.
