Voice-Control Equipment

Temic Automotive of North Americavoice-control equipment operate irrespective of sex, voice register and regional accent. The TEMIC speech dialog system is activated by a button mounted on the steering wheel. After having said "dial number", the speech recognition module registers the command, prompts the driver to enter the desired number, and repeats it for confirmation before dialling. This allows the user to check and if necessary correct any transmission errors in voice input. The speech recognition module and car radio are automatically silenced during the call. The loudspeaker provides acoustic amplification for improved clarity. This eliminates the risk of any feedback to the speech dialog system.

The use of Temic Automotive of North Americaequipment thus requires efficient technology for reducing extraneous noise. This function is one of the distinguishing features of the company's speech-processing system. External noise can be filtered out almost completely. Even acoustic echoes cannot be heard. This greatly improves comprehension by the call.

Apart from the telephone, the audio system - station selection and CD exchange- can also be voice controlled. Even adjustment of the air conditioning is easily possible. Future systems will provide an even more extensive range of functions. The standard TEMIC speech recognition system is currently compatible with various bus systems from Mercedes, Audi and BMW. The TEMIC voice control can now be retrofitted to any vehicle as an add-on for the Siemens car-kit professional voice and THB voice dial.
