The main objectives of this work package are to create a general approach to developing useable speech technologies in a cost-efficient way, and to employ this approach to develop specific language technologies for the pilot projects being undertaken within the current project (Wolof). We will also assess user experiences and user acceptance of interface technologies during the pilot trials. Lessons learnt during this process will be used to provide inputs to international standards bodies on speech technology.
