Abstract
The technology of voice browsing is rapidly evolving these days. It is because the use of cell phones is increasing at a very high rate, as compared to connected PCs. Listening and speaking are the natural modes of communication and information gathering. As a result we are now heading towards a more voice based approach of browsing rather than operating on textual mode. The command input and the delivery of web contents are entirely in voice. A voice browser is a device: that interprets voice input and interprets voice markup languages to generate voice output. That interprets a script which specifies exactly what to verbally present to the user as well as when to present each piece of information. Benefits Voice is a very natural user interface which speeds up browsing.

Voice morphing is a technique that modifies a source speaker's speech to sound like a target speaker. It does this by changing the pitch from the source speaker, like a male voice, to the target speaker, like a female voice. This is done by interpolating the linear predictive coding coefficients of the source and target signals. The pitch of the morphed signal can be positioned between the source and target by varying a constant value between 0 and 1. Applications include changing voices for security or entertainment purposes, but limitations include difficulties with voice detection and requiring extensive sound libraries.

Speech recognition, also known as automatic speech recognition, allows a computer to understand human voice and perform tasks. It uses acoustic and language models to recognize speech. Acoustic models are statistical representations of sounds created from audio recordings and transcriptions, while language models predict word sequences. There are two main types: speaker-dependent systems require user training to recognize individual voices more accurately, while speaker-independent systems used in applications like phones do not require training but are generally less accurate. The speech recognition process involves digitizing speech, analyzing acoustic signals, and linguistically interpreting the speech to recognize words.

The Evaluation of a Code-Switched Sepedi-English Automatic Speech Recognition...IJCI JOURNAL
Speech technology is a field that encompasses various techniques and tools used to enable machines to interact with speech, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR), spoken dialog systems, and others, allowing a device to capture spoken words through a microphone from a human speaker. End-to-end approaches such as Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) and attention-based methods are the most used for the development of ASR systems. However, these techniques were commonly used for research and development for many high-resourced languages with large amounts of speech data for training and evaluation, leaving low-resource languages relatively underdeveloped. While the CTC method has been successfully used for other languages, its effectiveness for the Sepedi language remains uncertain. In this study, we present the evaluation of the Sepedi-English code-switched automatic speech recognition system. This end-to-end system was developed using the Sepedi Prompted Code Switching corpus and the CTC approach. The performance of the system was evaluated using both the NCHLT Sepedi test corpus and the Sepedi Prompted Code Switching corpus. The model produced the lowest WER of 41.9%, however, the model faced challenges in recognizing the Sepedi only text.
Project CASL (Conference ASL) was initiated to rely on widespread technology to craft a solution providing remote viewers a real-‐time web-‐based simultaneous ASL interpretation of TEDx livestreams.

Recent advances in LVCSR : A benchmark comparison of performancesIJECEIAES
Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR), which is characterized by a high variability of the speech, is the most challenging task in automatic speech recognition (ASR). Believing that the evaluation of ASR systems on relevant and common speech corpora is one of the key factors that help accelerating research, we present, in this paper, a benchmark comparison of the performances of the current state-of-the-art LVCSR systems over different speech recognition tasks. Furthermore, we put objectively into evidence the best performing technologies and the best accuracy achieved so far in each task. The benchmarks have shown that the Deep Neural Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks have proven their efficiency on several LVCSR tasks by outperforming the traditional Hidden Markov Models and Guaussian Mixture Models. They have also shown that despite the satisfying performances in some LVCSR tasks, the problem of large-vocabulary speech recognition is far from being solved in some others, where more research efforts are still needed.

DCOM, CORBA, and RMI are middleware technologies that enable distributed processing and inter-system communication. DCOM allows components to operate across the Internet by lowering integration costs and improving flexibility. CORBA uses IDL and provides language-neutral communication through its ORB. RMI is fully integrated with Java. Web services use WSDL to describe services, SOAP for messaging, and UDDI as a registry. Socket programming uses sockets as endpoints for communication between systems over TCP and UDP. Message queues store and forward messages to allow asynchronous communication between applications.
SURF :- In computer vision, speeded up robust features (SURF) is a patented local feature detector and descriptor.

It also outlines the various segments that make up GPS including the space, control and user segments. Finally, it discusses applications and advantages such as navigation and working in all weather, as well as some disadvantages like limited indoor use.
This document discusses Blu-ray discs, including their history, technology, characteristics, applications, and advantages/disadvantages over DVDs. Blu-ray discs were developed as the next generation optical disc format after DVDs, using a blue-violet laser instead of red to achieve higher resolution and data storage capacity of 25-50GB, over 5 times that of a standard DVD. Blu-ray discs allow for high definition video and audio recording and playback in devices like TVs, camcorders, and gaming consoles. While offering greatly increased storage, Blu-rays remain more expensive than DVDs.

The document discusses a colloquium presentation on diamond chips. Diamond chips are manufactured from diamond structured carbon wafers and use carbon nanotubes as their major component. To make diamond conductive for electronics applications, it must be doped with elements like boron or nitrogen. Carbon nanotubes have excellent electrical and thermal properties and high strength. They allow for smaller, faster components that can operate at high temperatures. While diamond chips provide advantages over silicon, their production is more expensive and doping is more difficult due to diamond's structure. Overall, the presentation suggests that carbon chips may replace silicon in electronics in the future.
Kamal Krishn Gupta presented a colloquium on BitTorrent to his classmates. The document defines BitTorrent as a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol used to share large files between users. It describes key terminology like clients, seeds, leechers, and trackers. The method section explains how BitTorrent allows for higher download speeds by splitting files across multiple users, unlike traditional HTTP transfers. While downloads can be slow to start and finish with limited connections, BitTorrent provides advantages like reducing server loads and bandwidth requirements. However, it is also often used for illegal file sharing.

The main types of search engines are defined as crawler-based like Google and Yahoo, directories like Yahoo Directory, hybrid search engines that use both crawlers and directories, and meta search engines that combine results from other search engines. Advantages include enabling quick searching of vast information, while disadvantages include information overload and privacy/security concerns. Limitations are that search engines cannot index the entire web.
Brain fingerprinting is a technique that uses EEG to measure electrical brain wave responses to stimuli presented on a computer in order to determine if a person has specific information stored in their brain. It works by presenting probes, targets, and irrelevant stimuli and measuring brain waves like P300 responses. The brain waves are analyzed using algorithms to determine if information is present or absent. It has been used in criminal cases and national security screenings with a reported 100% accuracy rate. However, it cannot determine how the information was acquired and may not work if the suspect has been exposed to the same information from other sources.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

3. A voice browser is a software application that presents an
interactive voice user interface to the user in a manner analogous to
the functioning of a web browser.
Dialog documents interpreted by voice browser are often encoded
in standards-based markup languages, such as (VoiceXML).
A voice browser presents information aurally, using pre-recorded
audio file playback or text-to-speech synthesis software.
A voice browser obtains information using speech recognition and
keypad entry, such as DTMF detection.

4. Use of the hands during browsing might prove inconvenient
or impossible.
Voice input is a natural solution for such ands-busy
situations.
Even in standard browser applications, using voice input is
simply more fun than the alternatives.
Voice input provides direct "see and say" access to links,
eliminating the wrist strain associated with holding the mouse
for often hours at a time.
This is most helpful for the disabled persons.

10. A speech recognition grammar is a set of word patterns, and tells a
speech recognition system what to expect a human to say.
SRGS specifies two alternate but equivalent syntaxes, one based on
XML, and one using augmented BNF format. In practice, the XML
syntax is used more frequently.

11. Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition (SISR) defines
the syntax and semantics of annotations to grammar rules in the
Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS).
It allows voice browsers via ECMAScript to semantically interpret
complex grammars and provide the information back to the
application.
Coders commonly use ECMAScript for client-side scripting on the
World Wide Web, and it is increasingly being used for writing server
applications.
