Extensible speech recognition system using proxy-agent

This paper presents an extension framework for a speech recognition system. This framework is designed to use "Proxy-Agent," a software component located between applications, speech recognition engines, and input devices. By taking advantage of its structural characteristics, Proxy-Agent can provide supplementary services for speech recognition systems as well as user extensions. A monitoring capability, a feedback capability, and an extension capability are implemented and presented in this paper. For the first prototype, we developed a data collection application and an application control system using Proxy-Agent. Through these developments, we verified the effectiveness of the data collection capability of Proxy-Agent, and the framework extension capability.
