The title pretty much explains it all. Show me a video of your fun with speech recognition or tell me what to try to type in mine please. Spanish WOD: computadora=computer To try this little “song” out on your computer go to control panel, find the speech recognition icon then click text to speak. Copy and past this into the area to type: I like a do the cha cha I like a do the cha cha I like a do the cha cha I like a do the weekee weekee cha cha boom tack boom tack cha cha cha weekee weekee cha cha boom cha cha boom tack cha cha boom.

Hear! Here! Computer Speech Recognition

Posted by admin on May 21st, 2010 | 15 comments home title

[Recorded: Autumn, 1968] Today, its becoming common for computers to understand and react to our voice commands. From ubiquitous customer support voice response systems to personal cell phones, computers are now literally doing what we tell them. This level of computer speech recognition was not an overnight development. In fact, designing and programming computer systems to understand human speech is a challenge that has been pursued for decades. This historical film, produced by the Stanford University Artificial Intelligence Lab (SAIL) in 1969 discusses and demonstrates the challenges and progress made in their speech recognition project. The film first shows a computer learning to recognize phrases and speech patterns. Next, a computer hand-eye system is shown being controlled through voice commands. Commands as complicated as “Pick up the small block in the lower left-hand corner”, are recognized and the tasks are carried out by the computer controlled arm. This film made available to the Computer History Museum courtesy of Stanford University.
