Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

Intelligent speech, that is, intelligent speech technology, which starts with speech recognition technology, is to achieve human-computer language communication, including speech recognition technology (ASR) and speech synthesis technology (TTS). Intelligent speech technology is the earliest artificial intelligence technology, and it is also the most widely used among many artificial intelligence products in the market.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the number of patents in intelligent voice technology in China continues to grow. Through the huge user base and the obvious advantages of the Internet system, domestic intelligent voice companies have occupied a place.

The Development of Intelligent Voice

The research of intelligent speech technology can be traced back to the 1950s, and its development can be divided into the following four stages:

1 sprout

In 1952, the first speech recognition system Audry was born.

2 Breakthrough

In 1984, when the computer spoke for the first time, the speech recognition system released by IBM achieved a recognition rate of 95% on the order of 5000 words.

In 1988, SPHINX, the world's first non-specific vocabulary continuous speech recognition system, was born.

3 industrialization

In 1997, voice dictation products came out.

In 1998, a speech recognition system was successfully developed to recognize local accents such as Shanghai dialect, Cantonese dialect and Sichuan dialect.

In 2002, the United States first launched the Global Independent language Development project.

In 2009, Microsoft Win7 integrated voice function.

4 Rapid application

In 2011, Apple's personal mobile assistant Siri was born.

In 2015, the first voice technology that can be intelligently interrupted and corrected came out.

In 2017, the intelligent voice system made a breakthrough in the concentrated expansion of deep learning application technology.

Application scenario of Intelligent Voice

The scenarios of intelligent voice applications are very rich and have been maturely applied in many fields, such as these six scenarios:

01 smart home

Smart home is based on housing as a platform, using integrated wiring technology, network communication technology, security technology, automatic control technology, audio and video technology to integrate facilities related to home life, build an efficient management system of residential facilities and family schedule affairs, improve home security, convenience, comfort, artistry, and achieve an environmental protection and energy-saving living environment.

02 intelligent vehicle

The intelligent vehicle system makes the car more intelligent, mainly can update the map in real time, facilitate navigation and entertainment functions through voice recognition technology, and realize the remote control of the mobile phone and the seamless connection between the mobile phone and the car.

03 intelligent customer service

Intelligent customer service is an industry-oriented application developed on the basis of large-scale knowledge processing. it not only provides fine-grained knowledge management technology for enterprises. it also establishes a fast and effective technical means based on natural language for the communication between enterprises and a large number of users; at the same time, it can also provide enterprises with statistical analysis information needed for fine management.

04 intelligent finance

Intelligent finance is the comprehensive integration of artificial intelligence and finance, with high and new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and blockchain as the core elements to comprehensively empower financial institutions and improve the service efficiency of financial institutions. expand the breadth and depth of financial services to achieve intelligent, personalized and customized financial services. AI meter intelligent voice interactive processing system is independently developed by Chumi Technology, an artificial intelligence enterprise located in Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech Park. At present, the system provides effective solutions for nearly 100 consumer finance, inclusive finance, trust and other institutions, and has been widely recognized by the market.

05 intelligent education

Intelligent education refers to the artificial intelligence education of artificial intelligence multi-level education system, such as "New Generation artificial Intelligence Development Plan", "China Education Modernization 2035", "artificial Intelligence Innovation Action Plan of Colleges and Universities" and so on.

06 intelligent medical treatment

Intelligent medical treatment is through the creation of health archives regional medical information platform, the use of the most advanced Internet of things technology, to achieve the interaction between patients and medical personnel, medical institutions, medical equipment, and gradually achieve information.

Market size of Intelligent Voice

The rapid development of China's intelligent voice market is not only due to the strong support of national policies, but also from a series of factors, such as smart home drive, more brands and the interactive convenience of intelligence itself.

Support of national policy

In July 2017, the Development Plan of New Generation artificial Intelligence was issued.

In December 2017, the three-year Action Plan for promoting the Development of the New Generation artificial Intelligence Industry (2018-2020) was issued

In April 2018, the Action Plan for artificial Intelligence Innovation in Colleges and Universities was issued.

In March 2019, artificial intelligence was upgraded to "Intelligence +"

The drive of smart home

Artificial intelligence has gone deep into every bit of life, and smart home has begun to enter people's lives. According to relevant data, China's smart home market alone is expected to exceed 190 billion yuan in 2019.

The addition of more brands

-BAT, HKUST, Sogou and flush have launched the intelligent voice open platform one after another.

Ali, Baidu, Xiaomi, HKUST and others have launched their own smart stereos.

-BAT, Sogou and others have cooperated with automobile companies to launch intelligent vehicle systems.

The convenience of interaction

Voice interaction can create a whole new "companion" scenario. Compared with other images and two-handed control, the voice entrance has a variety of transcendental advantages, the more complex the space, the more advantages can be brought into play.

To some extent, it can liberate our hands, eyes and even feet, and it is especially suitable for use in some situations where hands are not convenient.

[conclusion] with the expansion of intelligent voice application industry, the market demand is increasing, and it is expected that the scale of China's intelligent voice market will grow to 20 billion yuan in 2019.

Every progress in science and technology has brought convenience to our life and work. In the near future, intelligent phonetic technology will also be able to replace a lot of teachers' work in oral English teaching, examination and evaluation, simulation exercises and other links, and greatly reduce labor costs. With the increasing maturity and gradual breakthrough of technology, we believe that the future of intelligent voice is unlimited.
