Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate ...

Speech perception and recognition constitute essential cognitive functions that enable individuals to transform acoustic signals into meaningful linguistic constructs. This process involves the ...

Postdoctorate Viet Anh Trinh led a project within Strand 1 to develop a novel neural network architecture that can both recognize and generate speech. He has since moved on from iSAT to a role at ...

Overview: The latest AI-based speech-to-text tools offer high-accuracy speech recognition with real-time transcription.They ...

Are humans or machines better at recognizing speech? A new study shows that in noisy conditions, current automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems achieve remarkable accuracy and sometimes even ...

The Speech Accessibility Project is a research initiative to make voice recognition technology more useful for people with a range of diverse speech patterns and disabilities. The project is housed ...

Children’s speech presents unique challenges for ASR systems. Their smaller, growing vocal tracts lead to greater acoustic variability. On top of that, kids are still learning how to speak, making ...

Chip vendors appear convinced that voice activation will be the next big wave in design, both for consumer and other applications. It’s easy to see why: Reliable hands-free operation of electronics ...

As Mark Hasegawa-Johnson combed through data from his latest project, he was pleasantly surprised to uncover a recipe for Eggs Florentine. Sifting through hundreds of hours of recorded speech will ...
