I-Corps: Wake-Up-Word Speech Recognition Software Toolkit

通过该项目开发的技术是一种特定的方式，使用语音识别来从计算系统“触发”所需和必要的操作，只使用语音而不是按下通话按钮。尽管语音识别软件随处可见，但这项技术仍有潜力推动该行业的发展。项目团队已经在这项技术上工作了十多年。拟议的系统将用作软件开发人员开发以下两类应用程序之一的软件工具包：1)限制访问系统；2)禁止访问系统。该软件工具包有可能在帮助直接或间接受损的用户方面产生影响，如四肢瘫痪患者、外科医生、穿着防护服的操作员、远程操作车辆等，在这些用户中，执行相同的操作将非常困难和/或非常昂贵，或者根本不可能。

The technology developed through this project is a specific way of using speech recognition to "trigger" required and necessary action from a computing system, using only speech instead of push-to-talk buttons. Although speech recognition software is widely available, this technology has the potential to advance the industry. The project team has worked on this technology for over a decade. The proposed system will be used as a software tool-kit for software developers developing applications that fall into one of two categories: 1) the access to the system is restricted or; 2) access to the system is prohibited.This software tool-kit has the potential to make an impact in helping directly or indirectly impaired users such as quadriplegics, surgeons, operators wearing HAZMAT suits, remotely operated vehicles, etc., where the same operation would be very difficult and/or very expensive to perform or not possible at all.
