Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
I have to admit, this is an area
I have no experience with and yet I am intrigued and eager to learn. Essentially ASR allows users to control a
computer (also it can control wheelchairs and appliances to name a few) using their voice. Here's a link to a 30 second clip that
demonstrates ASR; it's so cool to see it in action (just scroll down a little on the screen) http://www.atinternetmodules.org/mod_view.php?nav_id=1180
It's exciting to learn that automatic recognition software is readily available for free on most updated computers including PCs, Macs and iPads. Though there are still resources available
for purchase, this link provides an excellent overview of what's "out
there". I even discovered that my
Windows Vista has speech recognition software built into it!
Finally, there is a link that
specifically goes over the "latest" software programs and evaluates
them in terms of what should be bought depending on the specific needs of the
user. There's even a link for special
pricing for students and teachers. http://www.atinternetmodules.org/mod_view.php?nav_id=1187
