Precision Remote Speech Input

"This system will provide a speech-commanded, highly effective, eyes-free, hands-free command/control/data input means for forward observers, target designators working behind enemy lines, UAV operators and others. Compared with other attempts to developthis capability, this device will have superior background noise rejection, higher accuracy, smaller size, lower power consumption and greater ruggedness.This capability is based on Integrated Wave Technology, Inc.'s unique robust, miniaturized, language-independent speech recognition that allows for near-100 percent accurate command/control/information input in noise environments ranging from 0 to 100dB.IWT designs and produces integrated hardware/software modules that filter and process sound energy, match samples with stored templates using a 17-band analysis, and direct actions based upon accurate recognitions.The one-ounce integrated hardware/software modules remove large amounts of in-band and out-of-band background noise. The modules are also have ultra-low internal noise, allowing them to recognize sound more effectively than other systems. Theeffectiveness has been demonstrated in a series of US Government-sponsored tests. The device will be highly rugged, capable of surviving and performing in duty with combat forces and recognizing speech made under duress.IWT has developed both speaker dependent and speaker independent systems and will build representative articles of e
