The application of real - time voice recognition to control critical mobile device operations
(International Journal of Research Studies in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2015-07) Omyonga, Kevin; Shibwabo, Bernard Kasamani
The consistent increase in the number and ownership population of mobile device s introduces a variety of limitations. A set of this limitations revolve around interactivity. The overly dependent haptic mechanism of interaction has caused device falls, slower time to interaction, health concerns , and limited support for the disabled among other problems. There is need to formulate innovative techniques that facilitate our interaction with these devices fo r users. In order to achieve this, a Real - time Voice Recognition A lgorithm is formulated that lets users of mobile devices acquire freedom to move about and reduce the need for constantly glanc ing at their screen . This is achieved by allowing users to verb ally command their devices to carry out ordinary tasks such as setting an alarm, making a call, or even starting any application. An added unique feature is that i t also offers offline acc ess as any commands given by a user are processed and executed local ly on the device.
