Language Identification of Speech and Text
The Finnish Research Impact Foundation
University of Helsinki
The project is dedicated to the advancement of computational methods for automatic language identification. Speech user interfaces are becoming more popular in everyday life. However, almost all the current commercial products using speech interfaces have to be manually set to understand a certain language as no automated language identification methods are used. The project is situated at the department of Digital Humanities of the University of Helsinki and the industrial partner is Lingsoft Oy. Lingsoft develops and uses their own speech recognition solution for a number of different use cases, the most important from a current business perspective are subtitling for television and medical dictation.
