Speech recognition without heavy software or energy-hungry processors: researchers at the University of Twente, together with IBM Research Europe and Toyota Motor Europe, present a completely new ...

The Allen Institute for AI (AI2) has released OLMoASR, a suite of open automatic speech recognition (ASR) models that rival closed-source systems such as OpenAI’s Whisper. Beyond just releasing model ...

Every time you say something to Alexa or Siri, or use voice to text to send a text message, you’re using artificial intelligence. While those programs can be pretty accurate, there’s plenty of times ...

If you noticed that Windows Hello Facial Recognition on your PC recently stopped working in the dark, you’re not alone. It turns out that Microsoft quietly changed how to feature works to address a ...

These days, people can have natural conversations with their phones as if they were chatting with a friend. That’s thanks to the rapid evolution of voice recognition AI (artificial intelligence) ...

Postdoctorate Viet Anh Trinh led a project within Strand 1 to develop a novel neural network architecture that can both recognize and generate speech. He has since moved on from iSAT to a role at ...

Abstract: While end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) has shown impressive performance, it requires a huge amount of speech and transcription data. The conversion of domain-matched text to ...

Physical keyboards are great, but microphone input has long been a staple for many PC power users. Sometimes, you can just speak faster than you can type. And it’s not just about typing with your ...

A new generative AI feature brings voice recognition to tiny devices with a text-to-speech (TTS) synthetic dataset generation capability. It enables developers to generate synthetic speech data with ...
