Learn to program more effectively, faster, with better results… and enjoy both the learning experience and the benefits it ultimately brings.

In recent years, speech recognition devices have become central to our everyday lives… This exciting new advancement has led to a rapid growth in speech technology courses being added to linguistics programmes; however, there has so far been a lack of material serving the needs of students who have limited or no background in computer science or mathematics.
