ECE497 Project Voice Dialer

Members: Dan Bennett, David Bliss, Will Gerth, and Lei Liu!

Concept: Google Voice based voice dialer using TI embedded speech recognition.

Timeline: TBD

Goal: To complete and connect a voice dialed call from the beagleboard via a phone device of the users choosing.

Architecture
This project is divided into two parts, the dialer and the recognizer. The recognizer is written in C, and acts as the main driver for the application. The dialer is a utility script written in Python that dials a phone number.

Executive Summary
The voice dialer project aims to complete and connect a voice dialed call from the beagleboard via a phone device of the users choosing. TIesr is used to build a Hidden Markov Model for the voice recognition. (Give two sentence intro to the project.)

The TIser is working which returns a voice recognition result from audio input. The Google Voice dialer is also completed so that it can be used to make a call from a Google Voice account to any valid phone number. (Give two sentences telling what works.)

Give two sentences telling what isn't working.

Generally our team has reached our goal of making a voice controlled dialer. Although the TIesr HHM model does not work perfectly due to small training data, we have finished building all software structure and proved it working on Beagleboard. (End with a two sentence conclusion.)
