Carnegie Mellon University Develops New Speech-Recognition Technology

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. - Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), a university-research consortium for semiconductors and related technologies, announced that researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have developed a chip architecture that enables automatic recognition of voice streams supporting speech recognition.

The research has been targeted at the creation of a new silicon chip architecture that is dedicated to speech recognition.

Recognition technology being worked on at CMU is aimed at making it possible to search massive volumes of data.

In its third year of a research initiative among the SRC, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), U.S. National Science Foundation and CMU, the multi-purpose technology will be used by designers of semiconductors, systems and software.
