Technology Description
Automatic language identification (LID) refers to the task of identifying the language of a spoken utterance.
Language identification (LID) has a wide range of applications in multilingual speech recognition system as a front-end in information services (customer care) and in providing many computer and telephone based services. Any spoken utterance contains information about the speaker, emotion of the speaker, channel, environment and other variable factors. Presence of such variability makes it challenging to identify a language invariant to such factors. Especially, in an Indian scenario, where almost every state has a language of its own and every language having hundreds of dialects, the task of identifying a language becomes more difficult. This technology aims to provide an Indian language identification system using Deep Neural Networks. In the current work, it considers 13 of the official Indian languages and built system using DNNs. The technologyis being extended to all 23 official indian languages.
