Natural Speech Processing for Virtual Enviroments using Standard Objects for Phonetic Speech Processing

Standard Object Systems, Inc. will apply its Standard Objects for Phonetic Speech Recognition technology to the development of Natural Speech Processing for Virtual Environments. Speech recognition components provide an intuitive and natural interface for both virtual reality systems and natural language processing and understanding. The Natural Speech Processing for Virtual Environments phonetic speech recognition system is based on the international phonetic alphabet applicable to more than 350 spoken languages. It supports speaker independent continuous recognition with adaptation to both multi lingual and multi accent environments. SOS has the experience in complex speech recognition tasks and the control of equipment using speech commands to adapt these phonetic speech recognition objects. The Phase I objective is to design the natural speech processing system for a commercial off the shelf microprocessor configuration and demonstrate the prototype phonetic speech recognition capability. This phonetic approach provides a natural interface for multilingual, lexical, syntactic, and semantic processing. BENEFITS: DoD and commercial applications of hands free and eyes free human computer interface.
