This is an ABSTRACT ONLY.Telephone-based information access has the potential to deliver a significant positive impact in the developing world. We discuss some of the most important issues that must be addressed in order to realize this potential, including matters related to resource development, automatic speech recognition, text-to-text speech systems, and user-interface design. Although our main focus has been on the eleven official languages of South Africa, we believe that many of these same issues will be relevant for the application of speech technology throughout the developing world.enLanguage technologySpoken languagesResource-scarce languagesDeveloping worldArtificial intelligenceConference PresentationBarnard, E., Davel, M., & Van Huyssteen, G.
