Japan’s national phone company, NTT, has developed a voice-recognition system
that can analyse sentences as they are spoken. Conventional systems wait until

system can also tell from the inflection of the voice whether someone is making
a statement or asking a question. It plans to use the system for
ticket-reservation and information retrieval services.
