Human/machine interface dialog integrating new information and communication technology for pathological voice

摘要

The man-machine dialogue is too difficult to put in place but it remains an important issue for help people with speech problems. In this objective, we have oriented our work around a control interface including multiple communication tools: Videoconferencing between a doctor and patient thanks to a camera via Skype where a communication can be established and by which the doctor can make an initial diagnosis without the patient having to move; can access, for example, to a specialized site help to users for direct access giving them precise information, by listening, about the illness; An Automatic Recognition System of Continuous Pathological Speech (ARSCPS) was developed and adapted to the people with speech problems and a link has been established with our graphic interface based on the HMM (Hidden Models of Markov) [1] and the box tools HTK (Hidden Markov Model Toolkit) [1] where transcription recognized of sentences by this system will be executed in real time, the display will be done on a control screen independent of the system. The database Nemours [2] used in this application has been saved in a server where other databases can be integrated. This work has as foundation the VoiceXML standard who allows developing voice applications and website.
