The Effectiveness of Oral Expression through the use of Continuous Speech Recognition Technology in Supporting the Written Composition of Postsecondary Students with Learning Disabilities
… of providing a transcription service is high. Speech recognition has the potential to overcome these shortcomings, but presently little research has been conducted to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of this mode of writing. The purpose of this study was to examine the compensatory …

COMMANIMATION : a speech-controlled animation system
… system, called COMMANIMATION, also includes speech recognition technology, which allows for a more natural user interface. In addition to exploring animation, COMMANIMATION, a system that runs over three networked computers, provides a platform to study issues in pervasive computing, such as …

Automatic utterance segmentation in spontaneous speech
As applications incorporating speech recognition technology become widely used, it is desireable to have such systems interact naturally with its users. For such natural interaction to occur, recognition systems must be able to accurately detect when a speaker has finished speaking. This research …

Web-based, speech-enabled games for vocabulary acquisition in a foreign language
In this thesis, I present two novel ways in which speech recognition technology might aid students with vocabulary acquisition in a foreign language. While research in the applied linguistics field of second language acquisition (SLA) increasingly suggests that students of a foreign language should …

Using automatic speech recognition to evaluate Arabic to English transliteration
… systems. This thesis investigates whether or not speech recognition technology could be used to evaluate different Arabic-English transliteration systems. In order to do so there were 5 main objectives: firstly, to investigate the possibility of using English speech recognition engines to …

Using a low-bit rate speech enhancement variable post-filter as a speech recognition system pre-filter to improve robustness to GSM speech
Performance of speech recognition systems degrades when they are used to recognize speech that has been transmitted through GS1 (Global System for Mobile Communications) voice communication channels (GSM speech). This degradation is mainly due to GSM speech coding and GSM channel noise on speech …

Synthetic News Radio : content filtering and delivery for broadcast audio news
Synthetic News Radio uses automatic speech recognition and clustered text news stories to automatically find story boundaries in an audio news broadcast, and it creates semantic representations that can match stories of similar content through audio-based queries. Current speech recognition …

Robust Unconstrained Face Detection and Lip Localization Using Gabor Filters
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a well-researched field of study aimed at augmenting the man-machine interface through interpretation of the spoken word. From in-car voice recognition systems to automated telephone directories, automatic speech recognition technology is becoming increasingly …

Voice-interactive computer graphics and games
The art and science of speech recognition have been advanced to the state where it is now possible to communicate reliably with a computer by speaking to it in a disciplined manner using a vocabulary of moderate size. There are many applications of speech recognition technology in …

Attention-Based Encoder-Decoder Models for Speech Processing
Speech processing is one of the key components of machine perception. It covers a wide range of topics and plays an important role in many real-world applications. Many speech processing problems are modelled using sequence-to-sequence models. More recently, the Attention-Based Encoder-Decoder …
