Speech Recognition app for PDA/PPC

[HoSsEiN]

Hello All,

I know you can develope a speech recognition app for windows XP/Vista ... using Speech SDK that is available for regular PCs.
However, my goal is to have a similar app for PDA/PPC.

I would like to develope an app that is able to do speech recognition and then using that be able to make some controlers.
Is there any way/SDKs/.NETs/...  for doing this using LabVIEW PDA module?

Your thoughts, comments and help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
HoSsEiN

Not sure but I doubt it highly. Speech recognition is something software has troubles with to do good even on Pentium Dual Core Desktop systems. Not sure how that is supposed to go to work well on ARM based embedded systems.

That said most Mobile Windows based phone devices do have one or the other voice recognition feature built in to activate certain phone numbers by simple voice commands. Most probably it's possible to hook into this API somehow, but don't expect more than simple keyword recognition from that. I'm not using that feature on my WM based device because it doesn't work intuitively nor well.

Rolf thanks for your comments,

I understand what you are saying and you are correct.
However, I am really interested to try this somehow even if it may be a sluggish app. (love to get it working well though!)

I have an HTC TyTN II (AT&T Tilt) and have been happy with the apps I have made for it so far, I think it has a relatively good processor.
You can get Microsoft Voice Command on these things (which I have) and they come with a preinstalled Voice Speed Dial that can recognize prerecorded voice tags (speaker dependent recognition).  I was hoping to be able to somehow take advantage of the same process they do with my LabVIEW program.

Microsoft Voice Command does a relatively good job on voice synthesis and also recognizing your contact list names as you speak them even without training it.  So I think the new PDA could be able to handle voice recognition to some extent.  I don't think Microsoft has put out an SDK for this, but I was wondering if anybody knew a way I could hook into this program or any other similar program with LabVIEW PDA module.

Hi Hossein,

One option I've heard of is to write C code to interface with Microsoft Voice Command.  Although LabVIEW PDA does not support ActiveX, you can make ActiveX calls in C.  Then, using the Call Library Function Node or Inline C Node, you can call your C code in LabVIEW.  The KB here explains how to call external code in LabVIEW PDA. 

I'm not sure what all of the details or the end result were, but hopefully something similar could work for your application.

Thanks Jennifer,

I had to put this on a hult for now until I get some other stuff working, but I will defenetly look this over and let you know how it went.

hi everyone;

I'm non-graduate student in Turkey in department of electronical-communicitaion engineering

I need to help about speech recognition in Labview.

If anyone can help me I will thanks too

I'm waiting for your replies

Thanks

Hi firemoon,

LabVIEW does not have capabilities of its own for speech recognition.  However, using ActiveX or DLLs you can interface with software such as Microsoft Agent or Dragon NaturallySpeaking.  LabVIEW examples for both can be found in the document Voice Recognition in LabVIEW.
