### Spoken Language Processing is Ubiquitous! (1/3)
<hr />
- Human to human phone communications:
- local call (家用電話)
- mobile phone (行動電話)
- voice over internet protocol (VoIP like Skype)
- concall/video/audio conferece (Google Meet/Webex/Team/Zoom/jitsi)

### Spoken Language Processing is Ubiquitous! (2/3)
<hr />
- Human-machine communication:
- Apple Siri
- Amazon Alexa
- Google home
- 小米音箱
- Google voice search
---
### Spoken Language Processing is Ubiquitous! (3/3)
<hr />
- Assistive systems:
- speech-generating device
- speech-to-speech translation (e.g., Mandarin <--> English)
- computer-assisted language learning system
- talkback (語音輔助)
- 雅婷逐字稿
- Any device that generates speech to inform you something!

### Spoken Language Processing Technologies
<hr />
- Speech coding and compression
- Speech recognition (speech to text)
- Text to speech (TTS)/speech synthesis
- Voice conversion
- Spoken dialog system

* 在DJ雷欧的家中,洛托姆图鉴启动了新功能扩展——声音取样功能,同时洛托姆图鉴的假发也被库库伊博士送给了地鼠。
* 在阿羅拉!第一次的教學觀摩!!中,洛托姆图鉴运用声音取样功能,在教学观摩活动上代替小智进行发言,但结果由于洛托姆图鉴的语速越来越快以及突然用成也・大木的声音说出了宝可梦谐音冷笑话并且说出了“洛托”的口头禅而穿帮。
