This demonstration shows an innovative solution to a classic problem: how computer speech recognition can determine whether the user is talking to the computer, or to someone else. Face-tracking software processes video from a camera atop the PC screen to determine whether the user is facing the PC, or looking away. While facing the PC, audio-input and speech-recognition is enabled; while looking away, it’s muted. This technique also helps provide coarse end-pointing in a noisy environment. This demo highlights the use of two compute-intensive and highly-parallelizable workloads: image-processing and speech-recognition, and is currently only feasible on multi-core PCs. It’s also best-suited as a client-based workload (rather than cloud/server-based), due to video bandwidth.To learn more about the research that Intel is involved with please visit: www.intel.com/research

The documentation of a live performance by Formant Brothers (Masahiro Miwa & Nobuyasu Sakonda) recorded in Osaka/Japan in Nov. 2003. see also formantbros.jp — In Ordering a Pizza de Brothers! the Formant Brothers perform music on their own real-time voice synthesis system, the Klavocode, and as a side-effect of this performance, order a pizza by telephone. The Big Brother(Mr.Miwa) is responsible for phonemes, and Little Brother(Mr.Sakonda) takes care of intonation and accent. The voice is synthesized from duet’s actions. Using MIDI keyboard, the Japanese phonemes are mapped to combinations of the 12 key in an octave using the system called “Brother’s Keyboard-to-Phonemes Transfer Standard for Japanese Language” (BKPT-Standard), — (text written by Takayuki Rai on Computer Music Journal vol.28 No.4, Winter, 2004, MIT Press, p125)
