Automatic Speech Recognition in Severe Environments

摘要

For more than a decade the United States government, private corporations, and universities have been engaged in research on human-machine interaction by voice. The Department of Defense, in particular, has recognized the potential for improving the safety and effectiveness of its forces by making electronic and electromechanical devices directly responsive to the human voice and able to respond by voice. The benefits of this capability would be especially noteworthy in situations where the individual is engaged in such hands/eyes-busy tasks as flying an airplane or operating a tank. Voice control of navigational displays, information files, and weapons systems could relieve the information loads on visual and manual channels.
