ABSTRACT

In this application, users can submit jobs over the Internet to our speech recognition application server. The recognition system can be remotely configured, and audio data can be uploaded to the system. Canned applications can be run as well (for debugging purposes). This applet is part of a larger array of applets geared towards educating people about signal processing and speech recognition technologies.

Internet2 bandwidth has been enormously helpful in allowing users to ship significant amounts of data to/from our systems (Gigabytes of data per day in some instances). We maintain a repository of over 25 Gigabytes of information publicly accessible, including many on-line tutorials and extensive audio databases. The impact of Internet2 has been that users can directly access this information rather than download it to their local machines.
