Abstract
Conversational interfaces enable people to interact with smart devices using conversational spoken language. This book describes the technologies behind the conversational interface. Following a brief introduction, we describe the intended readership of the book and how the book is organized. The final section lists the apps and code that have been developed to illustrate the technology of conversational interfaces and to enable readers to gain hands-on experience using open-source software.
