ProfileKit 4

Summary

ProfileKit 4 provides support for VoCon 3200 V4 that simplifies the process of developing training sessions for speaker adaptation.

More Information

Chant ProfileKit 4 provides support for training of VoCon 3200 V4 speaker profiles.

Once training session data is persisted, it can be used during recognition to help improve matching accuracy.

A training session is an interactive session with VoCon where the end-user is prompted to speak phrases. Information is retained by VoCon about the session to use with subsequent recognition sessions.

ProfileKit simplifies the process of running a training session with VoCon and saving the data to a .spa file. This file is set as the CSPSpeaker property on SpeechKit ChantSR recognition object sessions with VoCon.
