A Voice Controlled E-Commerce Web Application
Automatic voice-controlled systems have changed the way humans interact with
a computer. Voice or speech recognition systems allow a user to make a
hands-free request to the computer, which in turn processes the request and
serves the user with appropriate responses. After years of research and
developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence, today
voice-controlled technologies have become more efficient and are widely applied
in many domains to enable and improve human-to-human and human-to-computer
interactions. The state-of-the-art e-commerce applications with the help of web
technologies offer interactive and user-friendly interfaces. However, there are
some instances where people, especially with visual disabilities, are not able
to fully experience the serviceability of such applications. A voice-controlled
system embedded in a web application can enhance user experience and can
provide voice as a means to control the functionality of e-commerce websites.
In this paper, we propose a taxonomy of speech recognition systems (SRS) and
present a voice-controlled commodity purchase e-commerce application using IBM
Watson speech-to-text to demonstrate its usability. The prototype can be
extended to other application scenarios such as government service kiosks and
enable analytics of the converted text data for scenarios such as medical
diagnosis at the clinics.Comment: 7 page
