Shubhendu Trivedi was looking to create a speaker dependent, isolated word, speech recognizer for a 8051 micro-controller. But traditional HMM approaches using MFCC based feature vectors were too computationally intensive to work on this controller. He found a paper that provided the solution. In it, the authors describe a way of only using zero crossings of the speech signal to determine the feature vector. Shubhendu says in his article: This feature vector is basically the histogram of the time http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/message-boards/speech-recognition-in-the-news/zero-crossings-as-an-effective-feature-in-speech-recognition-for-embedded-applications Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:02:13 -0500 http://www.voxforge.org/home/forums/message-boards/speech-recognition-in-the-news/using-speech-recognition-to-display-contextual-ads-while-watching-a-video Microsoft is working on a system to allow contextual ads to be served alongside video.
