Please log in for more thread options I am working on a system of PIC microcontrollers in which there will be communication between computer and user. The computer will choose from a menu of Chipcorder messages, but the user or operator, I want to utilize a small vocabulary of spoken words. I am learning that there some speech recognition chips available, and even setting these up I realize is not a trivial task. But I would like to do the experimenting with A/D and DAC and digitizing individual words and working on algorithms for comparing the operators spoken word with a stored template. This might even lead me into pattern recognition and neural network technologies. Has anyone experimented in these areas or set up any type of speech recognition system? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I found out that when you take the fundamental out, that each phoneme has a unique spectrum, regardless who's talking! I got hung up on the pattern matching algorithm, however. These days they'd probably do the whole thing with DSP or something. Good Luck! Rich | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Bell called the various phonemes "formants" as i remember.

Checkout Sensory Inc A single chip can do all the PIC work as well as the VR. http://www.sensoryinc.com/ JG >I am working on a system of PIC microcontrollers in which there will

Joe G Thanks very much - this is exciting to see all these features incorporated into the microprocessor itself, ans also their software packages. I wsaved the link and will be studying it carefully. Thanks. Larry Keegan | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
