Hi everyone,
late last year we had a company demonstrate to us a very interesting
'naturally speaking' voice recognition program that integrated with
the
Clipsal C-bus system to allow someone to control their environment
with
their voice alone. The innovative advantage was that you could use
'natural' talk to control the system - you didn't have to remember key
words or phrases. For example, a command such as "turn the lamps on in
the lounge, the TV to channel 2 and turn off the radio" would do all
of
that.
Paramount to the success of the system (if used in the disability
sector, such as for quads), is the choice, type, and location of the
microphone. The principle investigator is asking if anyone has skills
or
expertise in the area of the deployment of speech solutions to
maximise
signal detection and clarity - ie: which microphone is best, and what
position or location works best. They are
even interested in white papers, guidelines or research that relates
to
how microphones can be used to improve speech detection. If you have
any
experience in this area or know of someone that does, it would be
great
to hear from you.
Many thanks!
Cheers,
Dave ;-)
