Abstract
Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the default communication device of choice. The rapid advances being experienced in this area has resulted in mobile devices undertaking many of the tasks once restricted to desktop computers. One key area is that of voice recognition and synthesis. Advances in this area have produced new voice-based applications such as visual voice mail and voice activated search. The rise in popularity of these types of applications has resulted in the incorporation of a variety of major languages, ensuring a more global use of the technology.
