The company built important Internet precursors and continues to be a team leader in DARPA's latest speech-recognition project, which aims to translate speech on the fly for soldiers in foreign countries.
Ever since his teenage years, when he volunteered to work on speech-recognition projects during an internship at AT&T Bell Labs, Mr Castro has been waiting for the technology to work well enough to become widely adopted.
If CEMVOCAS project made the first attempt to examine the driver workload while coping with the oncoming phone calls and to apply this concept to an on vehicle speech recognition system, the COMUNICAR project developed the first rule-based information manager and the AIDE integrated project, makes evolve this concept developing an adaptive and integrated driver vehicle interface.
Dr. David Nahamoo, senior manager in the human language technologies department at I.B.M., which is responsible for the English-language portion of the project, said that speech recognition involves three basic tasks for the computer.
AT&T has been working on a research project based on the WATSON speech recognition engine.
For scientists focused on a research career, the company has an advanced-technology center that employs more than 400 people on projects such as image analysis and speech recognition.
This project aims to investigate methods for spontaneous speech recognition and understanding.
Another research project focuses on doing search by talking to your computer: speech recognition.
Google Brain, an artificial intelligence and machine learning project at Google, has been used to power services like Android's speech recognition system and photo search on Google+.
Machine learning, suggests Douglas Eck, one of the project's scientists, has come a long way when it comes to speech recognition and other, more straightforward tasks.
It's a very ambitious project, but the team behind it comes with some significant experience in the speech recognition space.
