Abstract
Multilingual access to information and services is a key requirement in any pervasive or ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper we describe our efforts towards multilingual speech recognition with a focus on applications that are designed to run on embedded devices, like e.g. a commercially available PDA. We give an overview on speech recognition techniques suited for the special requirements of the expected phonetic and acoustic environments and explore the ability to create multilingual acoustic models and applications that are able to run on embedded devices in real-time.
