Dear Mr.Hariharan,

 

Around 7 years back, one of my users mentioned to me that he tried out Voice recognition in Tamil by using 'Dragon Speech' software. He spoke in Tamil to generate Tanglish (i.e. text in English like 'neengaL kooda nandru katru varalaam') and then used Azhagi's Auto Transliteration# feature to convert such text to Tamil in quick time. This is not a straightforward approach ofcourse but just informing the same here since you are interested in this area.

 

I understood that it was not easy for my user to generate the Tanglish text, as he had to train the software to do the same. 

 

The history of DragonSpeech (commercial software) can be read at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_NaturallySpeaking

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_speech_recognition_software - links to some open source voice recognition softwares are mentioned here. I do not think I will find time in the immediate future to read details on these softwares, download and explore these softwares and see how suitable/good they are in effecting Tamil voice recognition vide the way suggested by my user.

 

(#) Kindly please click on the button 'Auto Transliteration" which you will get to see in the opening screen of Azhagi and it will give you details on how to effect auto-transliteration to quickly convert existing English texts (like slokas, etc.) to Tamil, instead of retyping them. The same info can be found at http://azhagi.com/help/azpowerautotransliteration.html too.

kind regards.

அன்புள்ள திரு விஸ்வநாதன் அவர்களுக்கு இராமமூர்த்தி எழுதுவது. நான் தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பாளராக இருக்கிறேன். எனக்கு ஒரு வேலையை TAM Kalyani.ttf எழுத்துருவை பயன்படுத்தி செய்யுமாறு கூறியிருக்கிறார்கள். என்னிடம் அந்த எழுத்துரு உள்ளது. நான் எப்போது யுனிகோட் எழுத்துரு உபயோகிப்பதால் அந்த குறிப்பிட்ட எழுத்துருவை எப்படி உபயோகிப்பது என்று தெரியவில்லை. உங்களுடைய் அழகி மென்பொருளை சமீபத்தில் இறக்கு செய்தேன். அதில் உள்ள TAM எழுத்துருக்களை எப்படி உபயோகிப்பது என்று தயவு செய்து தெரிவிக்கவும். நன்றியுடன் இராமமூர்த்தி --- On Sun, 25/10/09, Viswanathan (a z h a g i . c o m) <nobleh...@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Mr. Ramamurthy,

 

Your font name implies that it is in TAM encoding. If your translation text can be sent in plain text, then you can very well type in Unicode itself. After completion, you can convert the Unicode text into TAM encoding (and use your font for that text) using any of the converters available at http://azhagi.com/indic.html

 

If your work involves layout and formatting as you type along, then it is better to type directly in TAM encoding using any of the softwares mentioned in http://azhagi.com/indic.html which allows typing in TAM encoding. Azhagi supports typing/conversion in 'Tscii' and 'Unicode' encoding only (conversion to TAB is possible).

kind regards.
