Citizen Literacy Programme

The most recent of the projects in the Citizen Literacy programme. To improve the accuracy of smartphone voice recognition for a user with a regional accent using single short words. Current systems tend to perform poorly in this scenario. This is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to ‘tune’ our App to an individual user’s local accent. The intention is to make our literacy Apps more inclusive and useful. Funded by NESTA Scotland.
