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

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

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

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.

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.
