Listen To My Voice! When You Wake Up...
Listen To My Voice! There has been a few articles on speech technology and voice recognition lately. CNN - Speech Technology for Applications Inches Forward Discusses mostly SALT, a XML based technology designed to insert speech tags into HTML documents. This would allow smart browsers to interpret the information, and react to commands. It's rival, VoiceXML is also mentioned briefly. Planet Analog - Portable Text-To-Speech Helps Email Listening Looks into the need for speech recognition in PDA, since other interfaces are usually very unfriendly. Then, alternatives for speech generation are discussed, and the article looks into a specific hardware implementation quite lengthily. Agent Land - Computer: Wake Me Up At 7:30... Interesting article by Denis Susac that looks into the reliability of speech recognition first. With around 90% accuracy, there's still a lot of room for improvement. The history of speech recognition technology is then given, which makes an interesting read. There are some good references at the end of the article too. CommWeb - Natural Voices Used By The Blind Briefly mentions that Serotek will be using AT&T Labs' Natural Voices technology for its new product. | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts.
