So she and her team took up the challenge. And a challenge it was. […] Gao and her team worked to add semantic meaning and context to existing speech recognition. To work as intended, the system needed to recognize English and translate it to Arabic or Chinese and then recognize Arabic or Chinese and translate it back again. But Arabic dialects, for instance, are mainly oral, not written. And the written language is very different from the spoken language. All those issues had to be dealt with. In response, the team invented algorithms and filed more than 10 patents specifically related to these problems. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://presszoom.com/story_121144.html " target="blank">presszoom.com/story_121144.html </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
