Abstract
Speech recognition and synthesis technology has advanced to the point where the use of voice input and output is now feasible for Web-based applications over the Internet. This article describes applications, standards, and architectures for a speech-enabled Web, or SpeechWeb. The ready availability of mobile devices, such as cell phones and PDAs with wireless access to the Internet but without a conventional desktop keyboard, mouse, and large display, make voice input and output very compelling. Voice input and output for small screen/ keyboard devices, and for hands-/eyes-free situations, is essential to enable the user’s interaction with the device and to make it more user friendly.

Home Automation and Security System Using Internet of Things
In speech recognition technique, words and phrases in spoken language are converted into a text or machine-readable format. Speech recognition works using algorithms through acoustic and language modeling. The acoustic model is a file that contains a statistical representation of each of the distinct sounds that makes up a word. An acoustic model contains the large database of speech that is called a speech corpus. And use special training algorithms to create statistical representations for each phoneme in a language. Language models are used to constrain search in a decoder by limiting the number of possible words that need to be considered at any one point in the search. The consequence is faster execution and higher accuracy. Language models constrain search either absolutely (by enumerating some small subset of possible expansions) or probabilistically (by computing a likelihood for each possible successor word). The former will usually have an associated grammar this is compiled down into a graph; the latter will be trained from a corpus. Statistical language models (SLMs) are good for free-form input, such as dictation or spontaneous speech, where it's not practical or possible to a priori specify all possible legal word sequences.
