    Introduction
    3

     Speech recognition is the process by which a


    computer (or any other type of machine) identifies
    spoken words.
     Basically, it means talking to your computer, AND
    having it correctly understand what you are saying.
     An alternative to traditional methods of interacting
    with a computer.

    Speech Recognition Process
    5

     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
     Semantic Interpretation
     Determine the meaning of the recognized words
     Dialog Management
     Correct the errors and help get the task done
     Response Generation
     What words to use so as to maximize user understanding
     Speech Synthesis (Text to Speech)
     Generate synthetic speech from a ‘marked-up’ word string

    Typical Speech Recognition Process
    6

    SPEECH RECOGNITION 07-Feb-13


    Types of Speech Recognition
    7

     Isolated Words
     Single utterance at a time
     Connected Words
     Separate utterances together with a minimal pause
    between them
     Continuous Speech
     Rehearsed speech or dictation
     Spontaneous Speech
     Natural speech

    Algorithms
    8

     Dynamic Time Warping


     an algorithm for measuring similarity between two
    sequences which may vary in time or speed.
     Hidden Markov Models
     Neural Networks

    SPEECH RECOGNITION 07-Feb-13


    Hidden Markov Model
    9

     In a HMM, the state is not directly visible, but


    output, dependent on the state, is visible.
     Each state has a probability distribution over the
    possible output tokens. Therefore the sequence of
    tokens generated by an HMM gives some
    information about the sequence of states.

    x — states
    y — possible observations
    a — state transition probabilities
    b — output probabilities

    HMM Example

    Neural Network
    11

     A neural network consists of an interconnected group


    of artificial neurons, and it processes information using
    a connectionist approach to computation.
     An NN is typically defined by three types of
    parameters:
     The interconnection pattern between different layers of
    neurons
     The learning process for updating the weights of the
    interconnections
     The activation function that converts a neuron's weighted
    input to its output activation.

    Future Scope
    16

     Achieving efficient speaker independent word


    recognition
     SRS may have the ability to distinguish nuances of
    speech and meanings of words.
     Stand alone Speech Recognition Systems.
     Wearable Speech Recognition System.
     Talk with all the devices.

    SPEECH RECOGNITION 07-Feb-13


    Conclusion
    17

     Within five years, speech recognition technology


    will become so pervasive in our daily lives that
    service environments lacking this technology will be
    considered inferior.
     Speech recognition will revolutionize the way
    people interacted with Smart devices & will,
    ultimately, differentiate the upcoming technologies.
