Speech Recognition Controller Overview
This document provides an overview of the Speech Recognition Controller (SRC) component.
Purpose
The Speech Recognition Controller component provides speech recognition services for clients requiring speech recognition functionality. The SRC component comprises a client utility, a data handler and a custom commands library.
Required background
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a technology that enables users to use speech to interact with devices. ASR works by converting speech into a machine-readable form. Voice activated dialling is an example of an ASR application.
Architectural relationships
The ASR Client Utility is dependent on the Multimedia Framework. The MMF acts as the interface between the ASR Client Utility and the low level DevASR. A Speech Recognition Services (SRS) controller plugin is responsible for transporting speech recognition requests from the MMF to the DevASR. For playback, the DevASR implementation uses DevSound to play the recorded speech.
The relationship between the SRC component and other multimedia components is shown below.
