SPECIAL FEATURES
SpeechGuard concept was developed in 2003 under a DARPA grant (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency
within DOD SBIR program) primarily for military use. DARPA’s stated objective was "to build a noise-resistant,
robust, portable, low cost, scalable, voice-enabled, speech recognition based, and multi-lingual translation device…
with enhanced ASR (Advanced Speech Recognition) capabilities and ergonomic design usable for military purposes
as well as adaptable for wide commercial distribution."
In keeping with DARPA objectives, SpeechGuard has certain unique features necessary to withstand the demands
of heavy usage and harsh environments in mission-critical and life-threatening situations:
- Ergonomic design and convenient controls;
- Special configuration for low-cost mass production;
- Extra robustness, portability and scalability for flexible field use;
- Military-grade ease-of-learning and ease-of-use;
- Large, high-resolution touch screen with advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface);
- High-performance speaker;
- Special noise-reduction features;
- State-of-the-Art user-independent Speech Recognition with advanced acoustic and linguistic fine-tuning capabilities;
- Flexible user-customization features.
