Applications of Speech Technology in Vehicles

Marconi Speech and Information Systems, Portsmouth, Hants, UK

Marconi Speech and Information Systems (MSIS) have recently been participating in two projects which investigate the application of speech recognition and speech output technology in vehicles. The first project, completed in 1991, was a feasibility study for Inmarsat, in which a voice command system was used for requesting or logging information via an Inmarsat-C satellite terminal mounted on board a truck. The second project, in collaboration with Lotus Engineering and the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at Southampton University, is ongoing, and investigates techniques for achieving reliable control of cellular telephones and audio systems in vehicles. It will culminate in a prototype installation for use in field trials.
