概要: |
Google Voice Search, a free service to recognize spoken web queries is
currently available on most Android devices as well as on the iPhone/iPad as
part of the Google mobile app. It has been steadily growing in traffic since
its initial launch in the US in 2008 and since has been extended to general
dictation of E-Mail, chat and other applications, now running in over 20
languages worldwide. In this talk I want to share some of the history of the
development of the voice search technology, how we planned to develop it,
what challenges we faced with different languages, how language models,
acoustic models and dictionaries were developed, what maintenance is
necessary to keep it working, and how we see Voice Search develop in the
future. I will show some new features currently available only for a subset
of languages and discuss how Google's speech technology can be used for any
Android application.
