However, smart home functionalities may become useless for people who need those most, if they cannot be accessed via a natural, easy to use, interface. The central objective of LISTEN is to design and implement a complete system, including both the software and hardware components, enabling robust hands-free large-vocabulary voice-based access to Internet applications in smart homes. This would allow the users to have natural control (i.e., using their voice) of the smart-home web-enabled functionalities (e.g., turning on/off web-enabled “smart” appliances), but also to access specific Internet applications (e.g., web search, email dictation, access to social networks). A truly hands-free system operation of the voice interface is equally important: users will not have to turn towards a microphone or other device, or wear a headset. Therefore, LISTEN will develop (a) a robust hands-free speech capture system operating as a wireless acoustic sensor network (WASN), specifically designed for the smart home, and (b) a large-vocabulary automatic speech recognition system optimised for accessing web applications and controlling web-enabled smart home automation functionalities. LISTEN pushes the boundaries of current state-of-the-art by bridging the gap between the acoustic front-end and automatic speech recognition research communities, with the common goal of developing a smart-home-specific natural voice interface to web services. 000525178 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:246249$$pauthority$$pauthority:GRANT 000525178 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:246249 000525178 970__ $$aoai:dnet:corda__h2020::04c227c4befa0d57ce7b79fbbf769059 000525178 980__ $$aG 000525178 980__ $$aCORDIS 000525178 980__ $$aAUTHORITY
