Voice control framework for form based applications

Abstract

Enabling applications with natural language processing capabilities facilitates user interaction, especially in the case of complex applications such as a mobile banking. In this paper we introduce the steps required for building such a system, starting from the presentation of different alternatives alongside their problems and benefits, and ending up with integrating them within our implemented system. However, one of the main problems with voice recognition models is that they tend to use different approximations and thresholds that aren't completely reliable; therefore, the best solution consists of combining multiple approaches. Consequently, we opted to implement two different and complementary recognition models, and to detail in the end how their integration within the framework's architecture leads to encouraging results.
