Speech Recognition and Synthesis Technologies on Bluetooth™ Chipset for In-Car Use
Toshiba has developed high-performance, smallfootprint
speech recognition and synthesis middleware
on a Bluetooth™ chipset for an in-car hands-free
communication system.
The speech recognizer achieves highly accurate
speaker-independent recognition capable of recognizing
continuous digits such as telephone numbers as well as
commands even in a noisy environment, while the speech
synthesizer produces highly natural and intelligible
speech. A grapheme-to-phoneme translator is also
provided, which can automatically produce phoneme
sequences from name entries in directory information.
With the use of a Bluetooth™-enabled cellular phone,
these speech technologies enable car drivers to make
hands-free calls easily and safely simply by saying a
person’s name or telephone number such as “Call Bob” or
“Dial 090 123 4567.”
