Hi folks,
I would like to ask your help with an open-source project. Ivela-Voice. An applet (written in Java 1.6) of Voice Recognition, that aims to be a part of an E-learning application, for an Open English Course.
I need people to access the test page of project and try to use this "beta applet".
You will be prompted with 10 words in english, then you will need to repeat these same words, finally the application will try to recognize what you said.
This test is an anonymous process. It will take no more than 5 minutes. The test results will be submited to a database, for a statistic analysis.
In order to get this software working, you will need to access through Firefox >= 2.0 with Java 1.6 plugin installed. The Operating Systems supported are Linux and Windows.
The url to test is:
http://200.17.41.215:8080/ivela-web/ivela_voice_stat.html
Follow the instructions of test page. This is a good opportunity to contribute with Open-Source Community :-)
May the Force be with us all.

Hi Jefferson,
Works with FireFox 2.0 on Windows Vista, Java standard edition 6, update 4 (build 1.6).
Very cool!
What are you doing with the submitted audio? Will you be making it available to other projects?
When will you be making the code available?
thanks,
Ken

hi Ken,
First of all, thank so much for your reply. Let's answer you questions.
Actually we are not submitting the audio file. There is no recording routine in our applet. I will explain what really happens:
when you load the page, my applet will search for the lastest version of julius under c:\julius (hidden folder in windows) or <your_home>/.julius (linux case). If there is no julian neither its grammars for our tests in you Hard Drive, my applet will download the suitable zip archive for each operational system.
After the download, the zip archive is unpacked and julian is ready to run. This happens only for the first time you load the page. In conclusion, it is a FAT client running julius. That's why th applet is signed.
Our project will be of course open source with GPL free license. The applet code is not done yet and needs improvement. After that I will make it able to comunity. This version you see is an "ugly" version. We have a much better that we will release as soon as possible. We'll do same to the audio files we have in our database.
Regards,
Jefferson

Awesome work!
Does it also send statistical analysis of the speech (to build an acoustic model) or only error rates of the person's speech recognized by the applet?

Hi Visitor,
Thanks, I appreciated your opinion. Well, our applet does not save any statical analysis. It only evaluates a person speech.

Thanks, it was me. I look forward to the GPL-source from the better applet :)

From the Google Code project page for Ivela Internet Voice e-learning application:
Ivela is a JEE software that allows schools, universities, companies and institutions to create, offer and manage e-learning courses (in someway like Moodle). The courses creation goes beyond grades, exercises, teachers, coordinators and students management. It offers tools for online content building based on rich text editors embedded into browser. But also the content administrator can choose to create a content outside the application using "third-part" tools, based on an "Ivela Content Package Standard". This standard defines a compressed package oriented by a xml descriptor file. Based on this standard, the package can store inside it a complete html content, with images, javascript and css. The Ivela application also has an important feature that is voice recognition which allows creation of “voice” exercises.
Also see this paper: iVeLA – Internet Voice e-Learning Application where they mention their use of VoxForge acoustic models.
