| Abstract | Speech is the most natural form of communication and interaction between humans; whereas, text and symbols are the most common form of transaction in computer systems. Therefore, interest regarding conversion between speech and text is increasing day by day for speech oriented human-computer interaction. Microsoft Corporation developed Speech Application Program Interface (SAPI) for speech related works in its Windows operating systems that includes features for only eight languages including English. So, the aim of this study is to investigate Speech-to-Text (STT) conversion using SAPI for Bangla language. Bangla is an important language with a rich heritage; 21st February is declared as the International Mother Language day by UNESCO to respect the language martyrs for the language in Bangladesh at the year of 1952. We managed SAPI to match pronunciation from continuous Bangla speech in precompiled grammar file of SAPI and SAPI returned Bangla words in English character if matches occur. The words are then used to fetch Bangla words from database and return words in true Bangla characters and to complete the sentences. Several English words for particular Bangla word in the grammar file of SAPI is found to overcome tone variation of persons as well as pronunciation variation in language communities and shown to improve overall performance of the system. Experimental study is carried out for the technique on an article from a news paper and the recognition rate was approximately 78% on an average. Although achieved performance is promising for STT related studies, we identified several elements to improve the performance and might give better accuracy. The theme of this study will also be helpful for other languages for Speech-to-Text conversion and similar tasks. |

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.
