Is There a Future for Speech in Vehicles?
Posted on December 23, 2004
I found an interesting article in Speech Technology Magazine on the future of speech technology in vehicles, and it even covers audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR):
Whether it is navigation information, faxes, phone calls, or Web content that a driver requires, AVSR will boost the accuracy of the speech recognition engine and help to eliminate the need to repeat information. Instead, cameras focused on drivers’ mouths and “trained” to read lips will vastly improve the accuracy of speech recognition in noisy environments — clearly a challenge for the most advanced current systems. This technology will significantly increase the probabilities that drivers will be understood when giving voice commands in their cars, even where background noise is present. AVSR will also monitor for drowsiness – for example, eyes open versus eyes closed – and assist the driver accordingly with interactive responses.
