AGENDA Introduction How Speech Recognition Works Technologies in Speech Recognition Challenges In Speech Recognition Applications Of Speech
WHAT ISSPEECH RECOGNITION The process of converting spoken language into text or commands that machines can understand and act upon. It serves as a bridge between human communication and machine understanding,enabling hands-free interaction. IMPORTANCE Enables seamless human-robot interaction. Reduces reliance on physical interfaces like keyboards/touchscreens. Expands accessibility for people with disabilities.
HOW SPEECH RECOGNITION WORKS AUDIO SIGNAL CAPTURE:A microphone captures the speech as an analog signal. Signal is digitized for further processing. FEATURE EXTRACTION:Extracts key features from the audio such as pitch,tone,and frequency. ACOUSTIC MODELING:Converts audio features into phonemes(basic units of sound). LANGUAGE MODELING:Predicts word sequences using grammar and probability models. Helps correct recognition errors and ensures coherent output.
TECHNOLOGIES IN SPEECH RECOGNITION DEEP LEARNING MODELS: Process sequential data for speech patterns. Power modern tools like Whisper or GPT for faster and more accurate recognition. END-END SPEECH RECOGNITION: Processes raw audio directly into text without intermediate steps. EMBEDDED SPEECH RECOGNITION: On-device systems for real-time, offline processing. Common in smart assistants and IoT devices.
CHALLENGES IN SPEECH RECOGNITION NOISE HANDLING: External sounds can degrade recognition quality. SPEAKER VARIABILITY: Accents , speech impediments , and voice pitch variations are hard to standardize. WORD AMBIGUITY: Homophones (Eg : sea vs see) can cause misinterpretation. MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT: Handling mixed languages or rapid language switching.
APPLICATIONS OF SPEECH RECOGNITION HEALTHCARE:Voice-to-text medical transcription,assistive technologies for disabled patients. SMART DEVICES:Controlling IoT devices like lights,thermostats and appliances. CUSTOMER SUPPORT:Interactive Voice Response(IVR) systems in call centers. AUTONOMOUS:Voice commands for navigation and control. EDUCATION:Speech Recognition for language learning tools and accessibility.
