| dc.description.abstract | In a multilingual society such as South Africa, a
practical directory enquiries (DE) application should be able to
serve users from various language backgrounds with information
relating to names in various languages: a difficult task for automated
speech recognition-based systems to perform. We describe
the implementation of such a DE application (a ‘Municipality
Hotline’) and evaluate its performance, focussing on its usability
by callers from various linguistic backgrounds. | en_US |

IntSyst Labs and the Technology Innovation Agency. We
would also like to thank the rest of the SADE application team
(Derik Thirion, Anina Lambrechts, Aditi Sharma and Willem
Basson) for their various contributions to the development and
evaluation of this system. | en_US |
