Extensible speech recognition system using proxy-agent

This paper presents an extension framework for a speech recognition system. This framework is designed to use "proxy-agent," a software component located between applications, speech recognition engines, and input devices. By taking advantage of its structural characteristics, proxy-agent can provide supplementary services for speech recognition systems as well as user extensions. A monitoring capability, a feedback capability, and an extension capability are implemented and presented in this paper. For the first prototype, we developed a data collection application and an application control system using proxy-agent. Through these developments, we verified the effectiveness of the data collection capability of proxy-agent, and the framework extension capability.
