| Abstract | We propose a system architecture for real-time hardware speech recognition on low-cost, power-constrained devices. The system is intended to support real-time speech-based user interfaces as part of an effort to bring Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to underdeveloped regions of the world.Our system architecture exploits a shared infrastructure model. The computationally intensive task of speech model training and retraining is performed offline by shared servers, while the actual recognition of speech is conducted on low-cost hand-held devices using custom hardware.The recognizer is extremely flexible and can support multiple languages or dialects with speaker-independent recognition. Dynamic loading of speech models is used for changing language grammar and retraining, while reprogramming is used to support evolution of recognition algorithms. The focus on small sets of words (at one time) reduces the complexity, cost and power consumption. We design the speech decoder, the central component of the recognizer, and we validate it via a prototype FPGA implementation. We then use ASIC synthesis to estimate power and size for the design.Our evaluations demonstrate an order of magnitude improvement in power compared with optimized recognition software running on a low-power embedded general-purpose processor of the same technology and of similar capabilities. The synthesis also estimates the area of the design to be about $2.5mm^{2},$ showing potential for lower cost. In designing and testing our recognizer we use datasets in both English and Tamil languages. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
