the Speech IN


>> The Speech In:	The Speech Recognition features on the robot are very interesting to do some testing on the interaction that people will have with the robot in the future. Off course it won't be able to understand more than 4-5 words [Yes-No-Robox-...] but that allows a couple of differents scenarios of interaction. We use a program from HTK(speech recognition developpment system) [Hvite] to do HMM verification and to recognise the words from a simple database of spoken words. The system is speaker indipendent. This program is launched by our interface and through a pipe we get the answers.



		this is a microphone Array from Andreaelecronics (DA-400). this is intended to improve the volume at big distances and to filter out what isn't voice.
