Speech Recognition
A number of products and solutions that use speech as an interface are appearing on the market enabling users to convert speech to text and to automatically retrieve information using speech as an alternative to text input. NEC is a big part of this trend. It has equipped VoToL, a mobile multimedia player marketed by NEC Personal Products, Ltd., with the world's first speech translation function that can recognize spontaneous speech on a compact terminal. NEC is also providing speech recognition products for business use including CSVIEW/VisualVoice, a speech-recognition software package that aims to raise the efficiency of operatorstasks and improve the quality of customer service at call centers, and VoiceDo/HT, a hand-held terminal that allows data to be input using speech even under noisy conditions in a hands-free and eyes-free manner.
In this article, we introduce speech recognition technologies that provide "behind-the-scenes" support of these products.
