An Android based Mobile Spoken Dialog System for Telugu language to control Smart appliances

Speech processing is an active research field in which spoken words or sentences are processed to understand the meaning. One of the significant applications is designing spoken dialog systems whose task is to interpret the message in the speech signal. IoT is such an area where spoken dialog can be handy to interact with connected devices. Home appliance management is an interactive environment where there is a scope to develop speech interfaces for the operation of the appliances. The spoken interfaces to control the home appliances have to be designed specifically to a particular language since the development of a generic system is cumbersome. Even though commercial systems are available, they are to be customized to suit the needs of a specific language. In this paper, an android based spoken dialog to control home appliances is proposed for the Telugu language. The speech processing capability is embedded into a mobile device to make it useful in poor network environments. The design and the implementation details are discussed in the paper.
