The Challenge for Automotive Speech Recognition Systems

The use of speech recognition technology has become increasingly common in various industries. In the automotive industry, speech recognition systems have become essential components of in-vehicle systems. Drivers can use voice commands to control various aspects of the car, such as temperature, volume, navigation, and phone calls. However, to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of these systems, high-quality speech data training is required.

One leading global automotive electronics software provider faced a significant challenge in developing their in-vehicle speech recognition system. They needed a vast amount of speech data from different languages and dialects to train their system accurately. This posed a major challenge for the company, as collecting speech data that accurately reflected the diversity of the user's spoken language was no easy task.

To help overcome this challenge, the company turned to a professional language data provider like Nexdata. Our team of experts helped recruit native speakers to capture recordings of different scenarios, with professional TTS teams ensuring high-quality recordings that met the strict standards required in the automotive industry. Professional linguists were also on hand to ensure the quality standards of the language matched the specifications of the industry.

One of the most significant challenges in collecting speech data for automotive speech recognition systems is the variety of spoken expressions that drivers use. Drivers may use different expressions to adjust the temperature, change the volume, or make phone calls. 

Our team's expertise and resources were crucial in meeting the challenges of this project. Our experienced team members were able to quickly recruit native speakers who could provide the voice recordings required for the training data. In addition, our professional text-to-speech (TTS) team monitored the quality of the recordings, ensuring they met the strict standards required by the automotive industry.

One of the key factors in this project was the need for unscripted, spontaneous speech collection. This approach allowed us to capture a wider range of expressions and phrases, as well as more accurately simulate the natural speech patterns of drivers. By providing content specific to certain scenarios, such as how to adjust the temperature or control the volume of the car's entertainment system, we were able to collect speech data that closely matched the real-world situations drivers would encounter.

We also used professional scripts for voice data collection of fixed words, simulating the driving environment to make the speaker's responses more natural and realistic. This approach helped ensure that the training data was diverse and accurate, allowing for more effective speech recognition.

Thanks to our efforts, the client was able to develop over 40 language recognition systems, expanding their market reach and improving the efficiency of their model development process. Our high-quality and diverse training data enabled their systems to accurately recognize a wide range of dialects and languages, meeting the needs of drivers across different regions.
