Summary
This chapter presents an overview of the current technology and the real challenges that we are facing. Then, it discusses the main factors which contribute to the limitations of today’s technology and presents the results of studies which compared human and machine performance on the same task. Finally, it summarizes the most recent advances in robust speech processing. These advances are developed in the next chapters.
