Cool demos for the next SAPI
We need some sample apps to include with the next version of SAPI, and today we had another brainstorming session to think up some good ideas. Here are some of mine:
ESL: something for English as a Second Language students. Transcribe the person's speech, then tell them (based on our SR engine's confidence scoring information) how closely what they said resembles what our models expected.
Educational: lets kids (or others who don't like keyboards) and want to learn math or something. Speak a phrase like "Seven times four" and it shows the result (28).
Audio indexing: give me a WAV or WMA file and a keyword. I tell you the first place in the file where that keyword was spoken. Lets you find where somebody said the word "Grandma" in a home video.
Foreign language phrasebook: somebody says a common phrase in Japanese, we recognize it and reply with an English translation.
What are some other ideas?
