Exploring web-browser based runtimes engines for creating ubiquitous speech interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an investigation into current browser based runtimes including Adobe’s Flash and Microsoft’s Silverlight as platforms for delivering web based speech interfaces. The key difference here is the browser plugin is used to perform all the computation without any server side processing. The first application is an HMM based text-to-speech engine running in the Adobe Flash plugin. The second application is a WFST based large vocabulary speech recognition decoder written in C# running inside the Silverlight plugin.

A distributed cloud-based dialog system for conversational application development
We have previously presented HALEF– an open-source spoken dialog system–that supports telephonic interfaces and has a distributed architecture. In this paper, we extend this infrastructure to be cloudbased, and thus truly distributed and scalable. This cloud-based spoken dialog system can be accessed both via telephone interfaces as well as through web clients with WebRTC/HTML5 integration, all...
متن کاملMap of dermatology: web image browser for differential diagnosis in dermatology.
The Web has very rapidly evolved over the last decade, from a mostly text-based information channel to a powerful multimedia-publishing medium rivalling traditional print media. Most internet search engines have matched this evolution of the Web from text to multimedia by developing their own dedicated image search tools and interfaces, and there are even some search engines that specialize onl...
متن کاملIntegrating a Command Shell into a Web Browser
The transition from command-line interfaces to graphical interfaces has resulted in programs that are easier to learn and use, but harder to automate and reuse. Another transition is now underway, to HTML interfaces hosted by a web browser. To help users automate HTML interfaces, we propose the browser-shell, a web browser that integrates a command interpreter into the browser’s Location box. T...
متن کاملReal-Time Event Extraction for Infectious Disease Outbreaks
We describe a system for creating and automatically updating a data base of information on infectious disease outbreaks. A web crawler is used to retrieve current news stories; potentially relevant stories are fed to an information extraction engine, whose output is used to update the data base. A web-based browser allows users to examine the data base and select records based on date, disease,...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of the Spoken Dialogue System Based on the W3C Recommendations
Due to progress in technology of speech recognition and understanding, the Spoken dialogue systems (SDS) have started to emerge as a practical alternative for a conversational computer interface. They are more effective than Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems since they allow a more free and natural interaction. The Spoken dialogue systems are designed for providing automatic dialogue-bas...
