IEEE Review :Speech and Speaker recognition for home automaton

In voice controlled multi-room smart homes ASR and speaker identification systems face distance speech conditions which have a significant impact on performance. Regarding voice command recognition, this is  an approach which selects dynamically the best channel and adapts models to the environmental conditions. The method has been tested on data recorded with 11 elderly and visually impaired participants in a real smart home. The voice command recognition error rate was 3.2% in off-line condition and of 13.2% in online condition. For speaker identification, the performances were below very speaker dependant. However, we show a high correlation between performance and training size. The main difficulty was the too short utterance duration in comparison to state of the art studies. Moreover, speaker identification performance depends on the size of the adapting corpus and then users must record enough data before using the system.
