Speech recognition

Introduction Speech recognition is a computer software that operates computers to distinguish speech and translate it into text. The term recognition refers to the software that recognize or identify the sounds of the speaker rather than the exact words the speaker is saying. It provides people with synchronized captions on recorded videos, television shows and movies. Speech recognition can be found anywhere and many people today are familiar with it. It can be found in Google Chrome, Microsoft, Amazon, computers, laptops, cars or Dragon Drive, at the workplace and especially on phones such as Android or Apple. Google’s Android was the first phone company to release the speech recognition software on their phones. A few years after, Apple released the same software with their devices called Siri, which became popular with many phone users. Because of the provisions that speech recognition has brought, it enabled further advanced society in carrying more data on their phones and in machine learning. Background and Current Use Speech recognition systems were invented by Lenny Baum in the 1970s. “It (speech recognition) is one of the fastest…

Speech reverberation is the distortion of the sound by its delayed and attenuated copies. These speech copies originate from the reflections of surrounding walls or objects. This phenomenon of reverberation reduces speech intelligibility and degrades the performance of hearing aids and Automatic Speech recognition (ASR) systems [1]- [4]. The resulted speech distortion can be contributed by two distinct components of reverberation - the early reflections which cause the coloration of speech, and…

Speech recognition changes everything. The ability to access technology and use it to connect with the world is an amazing gift to a senior citizen. Speech recognition is commonly used on a daily basis by many of us on our smartphones without giving it much thought. However to a senior or even a person with a disability it is life changing. Speech recognition is partially available on devises such as Ipad’s, tablets, and some laptops. If a community center were to add this technology for…

The iPod will allow Susan to upload her books in an MP3 format for access when she is not at her computer. Susan does not need an All in One Printer. Writing: It is difficult for Susan to write/type her thoughts down before she forgets them. Susan articulates well, and she has better explained the material verbally rather than typing. The ATS discussed the possibility…

than to have a pack of lions led by a jackass. I believe strong leadership can raise the level of performance among a group. I also believe weak leadership can destroy even the strongest group in a matter of time. Speech Recognition Technology is growing at a rapid pace with advancements occurring at a rate that has a direct impact on every part of society. The medical field has benefited from many of these technical advancements. The ability to screen, diagnose, and treat patients…

the future would be like have come true, while others are still afar. One component that can be seen in almost all innovative fictional forms is speech recognition. At the moment, creators are hard at work trying to make speech recognition a feature of everyday life. It is far from this final starting point, but that is not to say it is not a technology that is being used today. Several simple products are available now that exploit speech recognition software technology. Speech recognition is a…

SPEECH RECOGNITION INTRODUCTION Speech recognition is also said to be automatic speech recognition or computer speech recognition which means understanding voice of the human and performing any required task or the ability to match a voice against a acquired or provided vocabulary.¬¬ It is a process by which a computer takes speech signal and converts it into words in real time according to an algorithm implemented as a computer program. It is achieved by following certain steps and the…

Speech recognition is used for two main purposes. First and foremost dictation that is in the context of speech recognition is translation of spoken words into text. Second controlling the computer, that is to develop such software that probably would be capable of authorizing a user to operate different applications by voice [1].some of them described below: 1. People with disabilities can benefit from speech recognition programs. Speech recognition is especially useful for people who have…

Hello Everyone, I’m going to go over Hazard recognition which is defined “as the process of identifying agents or conditions which have the potential of causing harm to a worker’s health and safety”. It is a basic concept but is very important topic that many people can become complacent too, especially on the smaller aspects of the job; like walking into someone back yard and not noticing the “Beware of Dog Sign, or stepping out of the truck if your off roads and not noticing a hole or divot…

Continuous speech is more natural but typically requires a more powerful compute to process the information. Modern speech systems are continuous whereas older systems were discrete. Many people (especially those with learning disabilities) prefer discrete systems to the newer continuous speech. More Memory is better having more Ram is a plus. This especially true if you are using other programs at the same time. As speed and the memory of computers increase, speech recognition becomes more…
