Speech Recognition Solution
NowSpeak Mobile ASR for BlueCore brings voice control to your Bluetooth device. Answer a call, control the device and query its status just by speaking. When voice control is combined with NowSpeak TTS you have a truly hands-free voice interface for Bluetooth devices.
When a call comes in the user can take the call or not, without pressing a button, by saying "answer" or "ignore". They can make calls by saying "call home", "call office" or "redial last number" for example, and control the device with commands such as "check battery", "voice dial" or "am I connected".
NowSpeak has optimised its speech recognition technology to work effectively in real world conditions, such as during motorway driving. Built-in noise filtering significantly reduces the effect of car noise and background babble. False start detection means that "ums" and "ahs" at the beginning of phrases can be ignored.

ASR activation
Speech recognition systems need to be activated so that they are ready and listening for a voice command from the user. There are several ways for speech recognition to be started:
Application event - the application can start speech recognition when a voice response is required from the user. For example, when a call comes in, the application uses TTS to speak the caller's name and then starts speech recognition to allow the user to respond with "answer" or "ignore".
Button press - the user can press a button on the car kit or headset to start speech recognition.
Voice activation - is an alternative to the user pressing a button where the device continuously listens for the user to speak a phrase such as "activate voice control". When this activation phrase is recognised then speech recognition can be started.
