Usage of Voice Recognition inside an Elevator and its Benefits

摘要

In the past decades there were several developments in the elevator industry regarding safety, speed, but also economy and convenience. The single task was to make the use of elevators more efficient, easier and more accessible to an ever increasing number of people. Towards this direction, voice recognition has a significant impact on accessibility issues, at the same time providing a faster way of finding and reaching a destination, within a complex building. The present paper addresses the rationale of the development of an innovative product that uses speech technology providing the opportunity of the emergence of the first series of voice-controlled elevators in the history of the lift industry.
