Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS) can be used to help people with disabilities. In this paper, we combine these technologies to make a new system for helping deaf people. This system can take the narrator's speech and convert it into a readable text and show it directly on AR display. To improve the accuracy of the system, we use Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) as a backup for the ASR engine in noisy environments. In addition, we use the TTS system to make our system more usable for deaf people. The results of testing the system show that its accuracy is over 85 percent on average in different places. Also, the result of a survey shows that more than 90 percent of deaf people on average are very interested in using our system as an assistant in portable devices for communication.
结合增强现实和语音技术帮助聋人和重听人
增强现实(AR)、自动语音识别(ASR)和文本到语音合成(TTS)可用于帮助残疾人。在本文中,我们将这些技术结合起来,构建一个新的聋人帮助系统。该系统可以将叙述者的语音转换为可读文本,并直接显示在AR显示器上。为了提高系统的准确性,我们在噪声环境中使用视听语音识别(AVSR)作为ASR引擎的备份。此外,我们使用TTS系统使我们的系统更适合聋人使用。测试结果表明,该系统在不同地点的平均准确率在85%以上。此外,一项调查结果显示,平均90%以上的聋哑人对使用我们的系统作为便携式通信设备的助手非常感兴趣。
