A Natural In-Car Speech Interface to Internet Services Using Hybrid ASR

摘要

Because of the mobile Internet revolution the manual use of smartphones while driving increases, which causes distraction from driving. Therefore, an intuitive in-car speech interface to the Internet is crucial. In this paper we present an in-car speech dialog system prototype which allows the user to access several Internet services by speech. In order to reduce driver distraction the system is controlled by natural speech and the visual feedback is very limited. The speech dialog system is based on hybrid automatic speech recognition technologies used for different types of recognition tasks.
