Speech based human machine interaction system for home automation

Human-machine interaction technology defines the way human use machines and it plays crucial role for developing an ecosystem between user and machine. Speech based Human-machine interaction has potential to be future of Human-machine interaction and recent advancement in technology have made it possible to operate computers and electronic devices through speech. While there are lots of research going on for the development of better speech recognition systems but very less efforts are made to develop speech based Human-machine interaction system for everyday use. This paper presents an innovative approach by integrating an Android enabled device, Bluetooth technology, Matlab computing platform and advanced microcontroller to develop a Speech based Human-machine interaction system for operating home appliances. The proposed system is very effective speech based Human-machine interaction system for real world applications as it is affordable, flexible, user configurable, user friendly, and also it is very helpful for elderly persons and disabled people.
