Current activity

The R&D activities of TCTS Lab in the area of edutainment and speech communication have led to the development of real-time voice interfaces based on acoustic features. Such tools play an important part in the voice control of information systems, as studied in a multi-modal perspective by the SIMILAR European Network of Excellence.

One of our engineering students recently developed a pack of audio games for Microsoft Windows, based on energy and/or pitch and/or formant estimation, which can be used for experiencing real-time audio-visual control.
A version of these games with help comments in French can be found here.
