Search in Book Reviews
Search is a simple string search in either book title or book author. The full text search is a search of the text of the review.
Besides explaining guidelines, the book contains a brief survey of currently-available commercial speech products (mostly Windows software) and sound hardware. One author runs a consulting firm and has included a chapter on their methods. There are a few paragraphs on universal design (which tries to make accessibility a side-effect of the general design) but not a lot on internationalisation. There are also anumber of interviews.
The book is clearly printed and there is a very readable introductory section. There are a number of technical errors (such as confusing amplitude with volume) but these do not detract from the point.
I enjoyed reading some parts of this book, especially the introductory section, but I probably wouldn't pay its full price unless I were a professional interface designer working on a speech project.
