Ai in Speech Recognition

Artificial intelligence and voice recognition allow humans to interact with computers using speech. Speech recognition systems work by converting audio signals to sequences of words. They analyze features of the speech, decode the features into words, interpret meanings, and generate responses. Speech recognition can recognize isolated words, connected words, continuous speech, and spontaneous speech. It brings many advantages like faster document creation and less labor, but also has disadvantages like making errors due to noise interference. Voice recognition systems require training to a user's voice and are not a complete writing solution on their own.

Artificial Intelligence and

voice recognition

Himanshu Choubisa

Lets Define !
Artificial intelligence is the science and
engineering
of
making
intelligent
machines, especially intelligent computer
programs. It is related to the similar task
of using computers to understand human
intelligence, but AI does not have to
confine itself to methods that are

Speech Recognition
Speech recognition is the process of
converting an acoustic signal,
captured by a microphone or a
telephone, to a set of words
The recognized words can be an end in
themselves, as for applications such
as commands & control, data entry,

How does it work?

How does it work?

Signal processing

-Convert the audio wave into a sequence of


feature vectors

Speech recognition:

-Decode the sequence of feature vectors into a


sequence of words

How does it work?


Semantic interpretation:
-Determine the meaning of the
recognized words
Dialog Management:
-Correct errors and help get the task done

How does it work?


Response Generation
-What words to use to maximize user
understanding
Speech synthesis (Text to Speech):
Generate synthetic speech from a
marked-up word string

Type of speech recognition


-Speech recognition systems can be
separated in several different classes
by describing what types of utterances
they have the ability to recognize.
These classes are classified as the
following:

Type of speech recognition


Isolated Words:
Isolated word recognizers usually require
each utterance to have quiet (lack of
an audio signal) on both sides of the
sample window.

Type of speech recognition


Connected Words:
-Connected word systems (or more
correctly 'connected utterances') are
similar to isolated words

Type of speech recognition


Continuous Speech:
-Continuous speech recognizers allow
users to speak almost naturally

Type of speech recognition


Spontaneous Speech:
-At a basic level, it can be thought of as
speech that is natural sounding and
not rehearsed

Advantages of speech
recognition

Work processes become more


efficient because document
processing times become shorter.
Documents can be generated up to
three times as fast with speech
recognition as they can if they are
typed

Advantages of speech
recognition

The employment of speech


recognition software saves a great
deal of labour, particularly for the
secretarial staff, which as a rule only
needs to make minor corrections to
documents

Advantages of speech
recognition

The speech recognition


software learns as it works if its
recognition errors are corrected. This
allows the recognition rate to
be improved even further.

Advantages of speech
recognition

Speech recognition software


allows dictations from digital
dictation devices to be effortlessly
transformed into text. For further
information, read our article entitled
Dictation and Speech Recognition.

Advantages of speech
recognition
Free up cognitive working space;
Allows dictation of text, commands;
Eliminates handwriting, spelling
problems;
Always spells correctly (doesn't always
recognize words correctly);

Advantages of speech
recognition

Those who engage in mobile


dictation need scarcely change
their routine to take advantage of
speech recognition.
Allows user to operate a computer by
speaking to it;

Disadvantages

Even the best speech recognition


systems sometimes make errors. If
there is noise or some other sound in
the room (e.g. the television or a kettle
boiling), the number of errors will
increase.

Disadvantages

Speech Recognition works best if the


microphone is close to the user (e.g.
in a phone, or if the user is wearing a
microphone). More distant
microphones (e.g. on a table or wall)
will tend to increase the number of
errors

Disadvantages
Requires large amounts of memory to
store voice files;
Difficult to use in classroom settings,
due to noise interference;
Requires each user to train software to
recognize voice, hard for poor
decoders;

Disadvantages
Makes errors, can be frustrating without
adequate support;
Assists with one stage of the writing
process, not a solution to the writing
problem.
