Abstract

Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPA), like Siri and Alexa, are created to assist their users with simple digital tasks. Here, we propose the steps we have used to develop a voice operated IPA which can process direct commands in two languages: English and Bengali, to perform menial tasks for the users. The speech recognition engine of the IPA is constructed with Sphinx-4, and the language processing is performed by a modified finite state automaton. The IPA also takes advantage of the subject/action structure of commands to reduce the size of the word domain, and utilizes a generalization function to ensure that the language processor can understand multiple languages without undergoing major modification-making this approach suitable when training data is limited.
