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.
