Speech Recognition External For PD

Possible Mentors

• Georg Holzmann

Description

Speech recognition is often needed for installations and in various other contexts. This project should develop an easy to use external for speech recognition, therefore the library CMU Sphinx could be used.

Sphinx is a speaker-independent large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer released under a BSD style license. It is also a collection of open source tools and resources that allows researchers and developers to build speech recognition systems.

A tutorial on how to use Sphinx can be found here: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/tutorial.html . Furthermore http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO describes how to write C externals in pure data.

Required Skills

• some knowledge of C programming
