Add Dialogue System on Speech Recognition System

Spoken human-computer speech interaction relies on speech recognition to understand spoken language as input. A speech recognizer is the input system that recognizes the human voice and convert sit into text.

However, speech recognition is an input method only, interactivity or dialogue cannot be achieved with speech recognition alone.

In order to achieve natural spoken interaction between a human and a computer, the following components are needed: A parser to analyze the recognized sentence and extract its meaning, a dialogue manager to decide the system' behavior and response, and a natural language generator, to convert the systems' response into natural language.

Usually,developing a spoken dialogue system requires highly specialized programming skills and several software programs.

Agilingua's core technology consists of an integrated spoken dialogue development engine, ATOM which enables developers to develop advanced speech dialogue systems fast, easy and highly efficient.

Fast and Efficient: ATOM Mechanism

The architecture of the ATOM Spoken Dialogue System is illustrated below.

  1. Speech Recognizer converts user's utterance into text
  2. ATOM Parser extracts meaning of user's utterance
  3. When needed, Dialogue Manager decides to ask a question to the user according to the user's utterance and the preceding dialogue context
  4. According to the decision made at (3), Natural Language Generator converts the question into natural language text.
  5. A Text-To-Speech engine converts the result of (4) into spoken language
