Abstract

The author discusses the applications of voice technology in modern automobiles. A major goal of this technology is to add artificial intelligence to the instruments of the vehicle to improve the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Two aspects of speech technology are discussed, namely, speech synthesis and speech recognition. Speech synthesis is mainly used to generate verbal warning messages whenever a problem is detected in the vehicle. In addition, verbal messages can be generated to advise the driver to perform certain tasks to improve the performance of the automobile. In the second application of voice technology, namely, speech recognition, the basic goal is to create hands-free control of some of the automobile functions, taking direction from the driver´s voice
