Abstract
The smart home speech dialog system INSPIRE was built because of several reasons. The two most important ones were to study new speech dialog system building techniques and to establish a new taxonomy for telephone based speech dialog systems. After the project INSPIRE was finished, the system continued as a core system for further research like user modeling approaches. This chapter will explain some fundamental aspects for designing a smart home speech dialog system, and it shows the development process of INSPIRE in the end of each section. The chapter discusses basic requirements, dialog strategies, technical realization, final check, lessons learned and closes with a glance of all points discussed.
