Speech Technology
Silicon.com is running a feature about a UK based startup, who are Building a brain. The technology is a biologically inspired model of a subset of the human brain -- consisting of the parts essential for speech acquisition and processing. Everything is learnt, so the technology is pretty basic for the moment; developers estimate a level of a 18 month old. The plan is to increase the capacity by a few years in the near future, and license the technology to computer game developers. Another application of speech technology is discussed in an article in the NY Times, targeting Translations Into English. This is part of a portable device for augmented reality. Essentially, a snapshot of the text is taken and processed on a server in a few seconds. The translation is sent back, and super imposed on the original image. Great for hurried businessmen! |
