I need some information on how humans can recognise who is speaking.\nI need some description of recognition process and what characteristics of speech are involved.

The second source looks a place to start.\n\n110 bibliographic references pertaining to speaker recognition[1]\n\n"The most common short-term spectral measurements currently used are Linear Predictive Coding (LPC)-derived cepstral coefficients and their regression coefficients. A spectral envelope reconstructed from a truncated set of cepstral coefficients is much smoother than one reconstructed from LPC coefficients" [2]

Speech capabilities are built into Vista's operating system.  However, if you have an XP system, you would need to install the Speech engine as a software component.  This allows you to get some of Vista's speech capabilities into your XP system.  \n\nMicrosoft offers their speech engine free for downloading.  Several vendors have developed software applications that use the speech engine.  You may want to consider e-Speaking ( http://www.e-Speaking.com ) for installation on your XP system.  This software uses the Microsoft speech engine to assist you in implementing speech recognition technology.\n\nVideos of the software are on YouTube:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYu6_cNRCD4\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io40bTjlYCY\n\nIn summary, you don't have to wait until Vista to get speech recognition on your XP computer using Microsoft's speech engine.  You can download and install the speech engine on an XP computer today.

some of thier vocalizations can be heard by people...especially younger people who can hear high freqencies better than older people.  They do however make other noises that cannot be picked up by the human ear at all, but can be picked up by  bat recorders specifically designed to amplify their calls so that we can record and hear them.

sure! there is a language for doing it!\n\nit's called voicexml, google or yahooo search for it!

I don't see why it would be different for men or women.  We have the same auditory equipment, so we should technically "hear" the same way.\n\nAs for word recognition which has nothing to do with the auditory system...word recognition is the ability of a reader to recognize written words correctly and virtually effortlessly.

The easiest way is to use a text to speech voice synthesizer software. The link I am providing gives you an example of what i am referring to.\n\nhttp://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php

At least you recognize that you do it. Congrats on that =) My Aunty is a mumbler and a low talker and instead of saying "what did you say" 50 million times, I just listen extremely hard so that I can catch a few words and form a sentence. It's kind of a game I invented. Anyway, the next time someone asks you to repeat what you said ask them why and you can pinpoint exactly what the problem is. Good luck!

Speech recognition is the process performed by software programs to know what a person is saying.  Traditionally this has been a very complicated thing and the resulting recognizer either needs to be trained or the user has to speak in a clearly delimited format.  But since the application of the Hidden Markov Model to capture what the user is saying, continuous speech recognizers are possible.  HMM basically is a graph that can "predict" the hidden meanings using non-hidden elements.

First you can do a search for the term "speakers bureau" which will bring up a listing of companies/agencies that provide such a service.   Browse the listings to find the speaker that best suits your needs.  The contact information should be avaialable via the bureau.  Once you have made contact, you can take it from there.  \n\nP.S. They will likely provide their own contract for you to sign - read it carefully, there may be some room for negotiation in the specifics.

Hi-Tech is about Talking to your Computer.  I named my computer Hallie and she speaks to me (but only if I say Please and Thank you).  She has a sweet voice.  But her personality is missing something.  You have to see and hear her at:\n http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdAQgVTl7wk\n\nMicrosoft is releasing their next operating system called VISTA later this year.  Vista will incorporate speech recognition into the oerating system.  Can't wait.\n\nIf you have an XP system, you can use this technology today. \nJust go to http://www.e-Speaking.com\n\nIt's voice and speech recognition for the masses.

The most important thing is to practice. It is good to move across the stage, use gestures, etc. Change your speaking pace, tone, etc. It is a technique of public speaking, it makes it easier for people to pay attention to what you are saying.

To explain this, I would have to use many words, so here's a website to sum it up for you:\nhttp://electronics.howstuffworks.com/speaker.htm

First, I think you need to learn about voice recorder or a easy voice thing that will recognize basic movements like Right, Left, Up, Down, Click, Right Click, Selete, Copy, Paste and stuff like that.  It's a lot of work!  Goodluck!\n\n\nwww.diamondgemztone.piczo.com\n<>dia gemz\nsheri

You should try e-Speaking Voice and Speech Recognition software.  This software allows you to have "scripted" conversations with your computer.  I'm scalling them "scripted" because the computer understands things within its context (i.e., its world).  The computer understands about files, programs, forms, fields, etc, etc.  \n\nFor example, you can say:\n\nYou: "Computer"\nComp: "Yes"\nYou: "Open Email"\nComp: "Ok"\nYou: "Check for Messages"\nComp: "Checking for Messages"\nYou: "Delete That message"\nComp: "Ok"\nYou: "Open Excel"\nComp: "Excel"\nYou: "File-Open"\nComp: "Select the file you wish to open"\nYou: "Cancel"\n:::\n:::\nThe "scripted" conversation is accomplished through the use of Text-To-Speech as well as Voice and Speech Recognition.  Together, these two technologies provide you with the ability to engage your computer on an auditory (verbal) level.\n\nPlease see the videos at:\n  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdAQgVTl7wk

I think now the focus on HCI will be on mobile and wearable devices. This is because as devices keeps getting smaller the use of keypads becomes much harder. An example of a (not-so) recent  development would be samsung launching its voice recognition phone the P207 which is said to be the first true voice recognition phone.\n\nThere are many research being done though for the next generation interface. Among the examples are head or hand gesture recognition. Imagine having to only nod your head at  certain direction to select an option from a mobile device.\n\nAmong other research is the use of sounds to represent a certain output. These are given the name "earcon" which is a sound icon. Lets say a pilot is flying an airplane. It would be troublesome to keep an eye on all of the meters on the panel. Instead if there's a message the system wants to tell the pilot it'll just relay it as sound, maybe a "swosh" sound if the plane is low on fuel.\n\nHope this helps.
