AbstractIn this paper, the design of a very cost effective Arabic speech language controlled device, with continuous speech recognition is presented. The device has been developed as an integrated prototype (patent pending) with the local center for providing technological solutions for people with disabilities. This system is explained with three case studies; which are computer keyboard and mouse control, a wheelchair control and industrial articulated robot control (as a test case too demonstrate the potential of the p resented device for extending it to numerous other applications). The main motivation for this design came from personal experiences as well as collaboration with the rehabilitation centers and local hospitals that many elderly patients and people with disabilities usually have stable speech, even in case of quadriplegic, and elderly patients. Moreover, they have more affection for their own language. Hence, a voice/speech controlled system in their own language (Arabic in this case) would make their interactions more convenient and would help in enhancing their quality of life. The presented system would allow them to have a way of expressing their idea by a voice controlled portable system, which is easy plug-and-play man-machine interface.
