Created by an editor with a clear WP:COI; appears to be a WP:CFORK of Speech recognition. The only references that use this term appear to be by the page creator. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This nomination is way off. The claim that this is a content fork of speech recognition does not stand up. Voice computing is much broader than that – the "other end" of voice computing is speech synthesis (sadly, not currently linked from the article) which cannot by any stretch be included in speech recognition. Also not standing up is the claim that this is a neoligism invented by the author. A simple gbooks WP:BEFORE search would have shown this. Here's a usage of the term way back in 1987. Unarguably notable subject: Talk to me : how voice computing will transform the way we live, work, and think is a book not written by Schwoebel and gscholar shows plenty of scholarly papers using the term.

Comment I think this is a valid topic, however there seems to be overlapping of information between the two articles and other separate articles. There is a good premise to Voice computing however I think it needs an overhaul. I think the article could work and could be kept if sorted out. Govvy (talk) 12:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree there probably needs a bit of an overhaul to this article. I wrote the bulk of this yesterday. In regards to the conflict - yes, I did write a textbook in voice computing but I've tried to write the article in a neutral view. It would be good to do some more research on the definition of the term, as it's often used in many different ways by the media and can be confused with conversational computing. It's partly why I wanted to start a Wikipedia article, as I think we can all collaborate on a definition that we all agree on :-). Nonetheless, if the article is not removed, happy to spend a week or so editing it and review it with the team here to make it suitable and sufficiently non-overlapping with other articles. 205.201.18.70 (talk) 15:37, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
