IBM India develops Desktop Hindi recognition technology

IBM India Research Laboratory has developed a IBM Desktop Hindi Speech Recognition technology, which can be used to integrate the speaker independent continuous speech recognition of Hindi to edit the translated text through Shrutlekhan-Rajbhasha in the MANTRA-Rajbhasha System. The IBM Desktop Hindi Speech Recognition technology understands and transcribes human speech with little use of keyboards. So it helps people, who are unfamiliar with computers or the Hindi language. The speech recognition technology eliminates the need to learn different keyboard mapping. The technology has been tested and trained for variations over a large number of speakers from different regions of the country. The technology could be also useful in voice- enabling ATM kiosks and in car navigation systems. Shrutlekhan-Rajbhasha has been integrated with a number of other user-friendly features such as the facility for conversion of Text to Number , Date and Currency format. It also converts Unicode text into ISFOC fonts to enable a user to import the text to any Windows based application. Source: i4d
