Novel application of microphone array sensor for children's language learning support — Intelligent Interactive Design using voice separation and recognition system —

Development of a robust and precise voice interface could accelerate the realization of a learning support system that utilizes voice. In our research, this objective is called Intelligent Interactive Design of learning support. In order to realize Intelligent Interactive Design, we propose a “voice separation and recognition system” that aims at clear voice separation for robust voice recognition by voice recognition systems. The results of experiments conducted indicate that our Intelligent Interactive Design has a correct voice recognition rate above 70%. The results are highly satisfactory and indicate that Intelligent Interactive Design can be realized via our proposed system in the near future.
