Speech Technology in Your Learning Management System
A learning management system offers a host of functions to organize employee and student learning experiences, all without having to pay for gas. And web 2.0 tools allow learning management system users to have a more interactive and dynamic learning experience.
Whether it's in real space or cyberspace, most people would agree that speech is much preferred to typing. A learning management system can be integrated with social software programs to give employees a virtual space for collaboration and training practice.
Speech synthesis programs like text-to-speech (TTS) and speech recognition programs are another exciting development to watch unfold. The quality of TTS continues to outshine speech recognition, but recent advancements in speech recognition technologies such as Google's show a lot of promise. Of course, a functional TTS program is invaluable in meeting the needs of visually impaired learning management system users. But the ability to hear any text that appears on one's screen is an incredible tool not only for the visually impaired, but for all students.
Speech recognition, however, is the newest hot topic with Google's newly announced plan to combine Google Voice with Google Translate. Imagine a world in which English abilities are not the be all and end all in order to communicate with fellow trainees and students across oceans. Being able to talk seamlessly with people from different countries is an exciting prospect indeed, not only for the development of web 2.0 tools, learning management systems, and online education, but for greater global cooperation on a whole.
