Hardware-Based Speech Recognition?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 10:00 PM
"The US National Science Foundation has awarded a $1m grant to researchers in the US who want to put speech recognition on a chip, a move the project's proponents claim will revolutionise the way we communicate. Rob Rutenbar, Jatras professor of electrical and computer engineering and computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, will lead the project. The research will be conducted in tandem with scientists from the University of California in Berkeley."
The article suggests that moving speech recognition algorithms into silicon is key for lower power and computation requirements. The article is highly speculative about the ramifications, but it would certainly be cool if it could become a reality. Would you want speech recognition in your Pocket PC? ;)
