1) A Persian (Farsi) large vocabulary continuous speech recognition engine which can be utilized in different speech recognition products. The project includes research in different areas of automatic speech recognition and incorporation of different known methods for the Persian language. The system is a large vocabulary speaker-independent continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system based on hidden Markov models (HMM). The vocabulary of the ASR system consists of more than 65,000 most common words of the Persian language.
2) Spoken dialogue systems for the Persian language. We are developing the first speech enabled IVR system and dialogue systems in Persian. The system is developed for banking and ticketing applications and is launched for evaluation.
3) Persian text to speech engine. This engine provides the most natural speech in Persian and includes very sophisticated text to phoneme transformer. It can handle complexities of Persian text such as kasre-ezafe and numerous homographs.
4) Speaker identification over phone line.
