This paper presents an overview of the principles and problems currently recognized in speech technology. It is argued that speech synthesis and general speech input/output recognition should be considered an integral part of computational linquistics and a modelis presented which emphasizes fields of common interest to speech technology as well as to natural language processing in general.Inden for rammerne af en generel model for sproggenkendelse og sprogproduktion diskuteres nogle principielle problemer i forbindelse med genkendelse og syntese af tale. Der argumenteres for, at talegenkendelse og -syntese er integrerede dele af datalingvistik og såkaldt »naturligt sprog«, og parallelliteten mellem genkendelse og syntese søges demonstreret
