Center for Spoken Language Understanding Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology has created a public resource for experimenters. You can download some trial software for fooling around with speech recognizers. This stuff is not in the category of off-the-shelf consumer items from D |
comp.speech WWW site Provides a range of information on speech technology, including speech synthesis, speech recognition, speech coding, and related material. Pages look a little old (1997) but a very wide range of FAQ here. Algorithm for building simple recognizers. |
Dictation Without Wires or Monitor Graduate student thesis which may give ideas for difficult environments. Mostly in German, but there is also an English page (click flag). Approach develops a little bit of intelligence between speech recognition and text to speech engine. |
IDIAP Speech Processing Group Lots of good work going on in this group, their publications page is quite useful. |
Museum of Speech Analysis and Synthesis Pictures of early voice synthesizors hosted by UCSC - site seems always under construction. |
Search Overview Online publication and slides, including pseudocode for algorithms such as A*, IDA*, GBF, and alpha-beta minimax. |
Speech Analysis A detailed paper describing some of the technology of speech recognition. |
Speech Informatics Group Main research directions are speech recognition/understanding, methodology of speech dialogue systems, applied systems, hidden Markov algorithms. |
SPIRIT Speech Technologies Has advanced software algorithms for speech compression, enhancement, recognition and speaker identification (i.e., voice recognition). |
Torch Library A library in C++ for developing Open Source speech and machine learning applications. The code is under the Gnu Public License. |
VOICEBOX: Speech Processing Toolbox for MATLAB A voice processing toolbox for Matlab, very useful for prototyping algorithms and has routines to do most of the basic useful tasks in speech. |
