dc.description.abstractIn 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

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
