and if successful it will be a critical part of a multimodal interface, and
you will need to work with others on the design team to consider how speech
should potentially complement other forms of input. You will also work
closely with speech recognition and embedded software engineers to ensure
the recognition tasks and implementation are practical, but your own
knowledge in these areas will be helpful.
