Low-Voltage Circuit Design
[ send me this paper ]
A 42 page paper discussing basic designs enroute to devising a project focusing on voice recognition circuitry and control. The intended application is not ultimately intended to be that used for voice-to-text designs, though it could be. Rather, the project focus is more that designed as a security measure, such as that ensuring that the user of a cellular telephone is indeed the subscriber to the cellular service on which that specific telephone's service is billed. Voice recognition can be seen to be approaching a standard in the future. That standard seems to be far in the future, but it likely will be attached to natural language and context sensitivity. In order to be truly useful, it will need to be based on the simplest circuits achievable. Includes 16 figures, bibliography lists 25 sources.
