Voice recognition software
Voice recognition software has come a long ways in a short time. It was first used in home appliances such as washing machines so the consumer could operate the washing controls through vocal commands and then the invention of mobile phones with voice-activated dialing came along. Know day’s voice recognition is so widely used that I could not begin to identify them all.
The technology of voice recognition has become necessary feature on smartphones. You have, siri on log devices, Google now on android devices, and speech commands on windows phone 8. The smart phone alone has brought voice recognition technology to the masses. However, this is just the beginning of the possibilities with voice recognition software
Newer voice command devices are speaker independent, so they can respond to multiple voices, regardless of accent or dialect. They can respond to several commands at once, by separating vocal messages and providing appropriate feedback, while accurately imitating a natural conversation. They can understand approximately fifty different commands and retain about two minutes of vocal messages, some uses for the newer voice command devices are; computer operating systems, some commercial software for computers, mobile phones (smart phones), automobiles, call centers, internet search engines (Google), and some advanced security systems. That is just to name a few.
Voice recognition refers to one of two types of computer science. You have forensic voice identification and speech-to-text capability. Voice recognition is a computer technology that utilizes that uses audio input for entering data. Voice recognition software is designed with an internal database of recognizable words or phrases. The program matches an audio signature with the entries in the database. A voice recognition program that requires the user to train the software is called

    Using a confident, but humorous tone to talk about the "few myths" of sleep to the students, later adopting a more informative and knowledgeable tone to put more emphasis on the "importance of sleep", Ms O'Hearn makes an effort to gain credibility from VCE cohort by showing them that she does understand how a VCE student function, by clearly referring to students who, "leave everything till Sunday afternoon", before they "panic" and "rush to their rooms", this does not just show the cohort that she understands them individually, but creates a sense of warmth for students to approach her more comfortably. Throughout the speech, she targets the VCE students as her audience, however, for the newsletter that followed, Bonvue subtly manipulates…

    1.- Introduction. The growing, unstoppable development of very high speed information processing computers with tremendous main memory capacity which we see today leads us to think that it will be possible to design and construct automatic speech recognition systems which can detect and code all the grammatical components of a training corpus. As part of our effort to make a contribution to the fascinating world of Automatic Speech Recognition, we have developed a system composed of a set of computer programs. We have observed that on the basis of a model of a small corpus made up of sentences in a particular context, we can automatically generate a great quantity of grammatically correct sentences with this context. Also, our system can effect a linguistic discrimination to the point of rejecting, as…

    Text to Speech

    At present most speech synthesis systems use raw text as their input which is understandable from a human point of view but problematic for the machines since the process of converting text to speech is very complex; in this paper we discuss the need for having a specific SSML tag for each “mention” (1st occurrence, 2nd occurrence) of a proper noun in the text or paragraph. We discuss that when a proper noun appears first time in the text, then it is spoken more prominently than its second or third or subsequent occurrence. We highlight the need for incorporating a specific tag in SSML to take care of this mention-case. The SSML format is a compromise between human and machine needs. SSML is often embedded in Voice-XML scripts to drive interactive telephony systems. However, it also may be used alone, such as for creating audio books. The advantage that SSML brings is that the designers of such language generation systems need only understand the basic SSML language and do not need specialist speech synthesis knowledge. Introduction Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) is an XML-based markup language for speech synthesis applications. SSML directs all Text Analysis steps, providing a standard way to control aspects of speech such as pronunciation, acronym expansion, volume, pitch, rate, range, duration, pause, emphasis, etc., across different synthesis-capable platforms. The intended use of SSML is to improve the quality of synthesized content. Different markup elements impact different stages of the synthesis process. The markup may be produced either automatically, for instance via XSLT or CSS3 from an XHTML document, or by human authoring. Markup may be present within a complete SSML document or as part of a fragment embedded in another language, although no interactions with other languages are specified as…

    Silence suppression

    • 476 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Silence suppression is achieved by recognizing the lack of speech through a speech processing mechanism called voice activity detection (VAD) which dynamically monitors background noise and sets a corresponding speech detection threshold. This technique is also known as speech activity detection (SAD). Silence suppression is a way to save bandwidth when conducting voice communications, or at least audio communications, over the Internet; it’s an advantage for businesses, especially companies that seem to specialize in Internet voice applications. Due to their networks and capacity not being clogged with useless data, the silence suppression technology requires a form of computer control timing protocol in which a specific operation begins upon receipt of an indication (signal) that the preceding operation has been completed, with the movement of data, a very easy task for the Internet to handle and the communication, between the two parties, without nearly the amount of bandwidth that would otherwise be taken up.…
