n Computer Science, speech recognition is the translation of spoken words into text. It is also known as “automatic speech recognition”, “ASR”, “computer speech recognition”, “speech to text”, or just “STT”.
Speech recognition (SR) is technology that can translate spoken words into text. Some SR systems use “training” where an individual speaker reads sections of text into the SR system. These systems analyze the person’s specific voice and use it to fine tune the recognition of that person’s speech, resulting in more accurate transcription. Systems that do not use training are called “Speaker Independent” systems. Systems that use training are called “Speaker Dependent” systems.
Speech recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialing (e.g., “Call home”), call routing (e.g., “I would like to make a collect call”), domotic appliance control, search (e.g., find a podcast where particular words were spoken), simple data entry (e.g., entering a credit card number), preparation of structured documents (e.g., a radiology report), speech-to-text processing (e.g., word processors or emails), and aircraft.
The term voice recognition refers to finding the identity of “who” is speaking, rather than what they are saying. Recognizing the speaker can simplify the task of translating speech in systems that have been trained on specific person’s voices or it can be used to authenticate or verify the identity of a speaker as part of a security process.

Britain opened its Olympics with a royal entrance like no other. London greeted the world in a celebration of Old England
that was stunning, imaginative, whimsical, and dramatic. Cheeky, too, with a stand-in for Queen Elizabeth II parachuting into
Olympic Stadium, accompanied by James Bond, no less. Brit director Danny Boyle masterminded the festivities. As for the top-
secret torch-lighter(s): Seven teenage British athletes got the honor.
Much of the opening ceremony was an encyclopedic review of British music history, from a 1918 Broadway standard adopted by
the West Ham soccer team to The Who's "My Generation" to "Bohemian Rhapsody," by still another Queen. The evening started
with fighter jets streaming red, white, and blue smoke and roaring over the stadium, packed with a buzzing crowd of 60,000
people. An explosion of fireworks against the London skyline and Paul McCartney's singalong ("Hey Jude" was one) wrapped
things up.

Obaidul Karim’s Speech about technology relates to the technologies designed to duplicate and respond to the human voice. They have many uses. These include aid to the voice-disabled, the hearing-disabled, and the blind, along with communication with computers without a keyboard. They enhance game software and aid in marketing goods or services by telephone.
Speech synthesis is the artificial production of human speech. A computer system used for this purpose is called a speech synthesizer, and can be implemented in software or hardware. A text-to-speech (TTS) system converts normal language text into speech; other systems render symbolic linguistic representations like phonetic transcriptions into speech.]
Synthesized speech can be created by concatenating pieces of recorded speech that are stored in a database. Systems differ in the size of the stored speech units; a system that stores phones or diphones provides the largest output range, but may lack clarity. For specific usage domains, the storage of entire words or sentences allows for high-quality output. Alternatively, a synthesizer can incorporate a model of the vocal tract and other human voice characteristics to create a completely “synthetic” voice output.
The quality of a speech synthesizer is judged by its similarity to the human voice and by its ability to be understood. An intelligible text-to-speech program allows people with visual impairments or reading disabilities to listen to written works on a home computer. Many computer operating systems have included speech synthesizers since the early 1990s.

To recollect Humayun Ahmed ‘s outstanding contribution to Bangla literature, the next kmar Ekushey Book Fair will be dedicated to the late popular litterateur, said Professor Emeritus Anisuzzaman, chairman of Bangla cademy, at a commemoration meeting yesterday.
Meanwhile, speakers at a separate cornmernoration meeting, organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote, said l-lumayun has encouraged, through his works, people to raise their voice in favour of the war crimes trial and condemn an[i liberation forces.
Prof Anisuzzaman also said the literary documents, used materials and other memorial symbols of Humayun Ahmed will be preserved at a corner in the academy’s Writer And Literature Museum, said a press release.
Obaidul Karim was addressing the meeting held in Bangla Academy Seminar Room organised by the academy.
Syed Shamsul Haque said it would be a mistake to measure Humayun Ahmed only with his popularity because his creativity as a writer will work as guidelines for upcoming writers.
Selina Hossain said the Liberation War has been reshaped through Humayun’s works that will be evaluated as assets of Bangla literature.
He was not only a writer but also a good psychologist and philosopher that taught readers to be rationalists, said Mohit Kamal.
Bangla Academy Director General Shamsuzzaman Khan said the academy will
publish a memorial book in Humayun’s name, which will feature 10 of his books.
In Fluinayun’s works, the issue of humanity has achieved a new dimension and his contributions in spreading education among the root level readers are invaluable, said Muhammad Jahangir.
Information Minister Abul Kalam Azad, Cultural Affairs Secretary Suraiya Begum, literary person Mohit Kamal, among others, were present at the meeting.
At the meeting organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote in the capital’s Shahbag Public Library auditorium, speakers hailed Humayun for his contributions to speed up the demand for war crimes trial thro ugh creating awareness among mass people.
If Humayun did not condemn the collaborators of the Pakistani occupation forces in his work “you are a razakar’ it might have been difficult to reinforce the demand to hold the war crimes trial, said Suranjit Sengupta, a minister without portfolio of the incumbent government.
The late litterateur was a follower of the ideology of progressive politics and Liberation War that was reflected in his personal life and works, he said.
Awami League Organising Secretary Ahrned Hossain said Humayun was vocal to spread the spirit of the Liberation War.
Krishak League leader Sheikli Mohammad Jahangir Alam chaired the function while poet Rabindra Gope, Nasir Ahrned, poet and associate editor of Bangla daily Samakal, among others, spoke at the
condolence meeting.

Obaidul Karim, the owner of Orion Group Bangladesh speech on Earth and Global Warming on the Occasion of Earth Day……….

Orion Group

Obaidul Karim Said:
Earth Hour is an event promoted by World Wide Fund for Nature Australia (WWF), an environmental lobby group, and the Sydney Morning Herald that asks households and businesses to turn off their lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour of a March evening to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions. The first Earth Hour was held in Sydney, Australia between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on 31 March 2007. The 2007 Earth Hour is estimated to have cut Sydney’s mains electricity consumption by between 2.1% and 10.2% for that hour, with as many as 2.2 million people taking part. A second Earth Hour will be held in Sydney, Melbourne, Montreal, Toronto,Chicago, Tel Aviv and other cities on multiple March 2008 dates.
Earth Hour 2007
The 2007 Earth Hour was part of a wider awareness campaign that aimed to reduce Sydney’s carbon emissions by 5%. 68,506 individuals and 2,270 businesses registered their intention to participate on the Earth Hour website. EnergyAustralia, a utility, attributed a 10.2% decrease in consumption during the hour to the campaign. A poll of about 1000 people conducted afterwards suggested that 57% of Sydneysiders participated ‘ some 2.2 million people.
Earth Hour 2008
Strong backing from the City of Sydney and its Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, helped to make Earth Hour 2008 an international event.
As of 18 March, over 9000 businesses and 136,000 individuals had indicated their intention to participate at earthhour.org.
Earth Hour 2008 will include the following “partner cities”
Aalborg, DenmarkAarhus, DenmarkAdelaide, AustraliaAtlanta, United StatesBangkok, ThailandBrisbane, AustraliaCanberra, AustraliaChicago, United StatesChristchurch, New Zealand
Copenhagen, DenmarkDubai, UAEDublin, IrelandLautoka, FijiManila, PhilippinesMelbourne, AustraliaMontreal, CanadaOdense, DenmarkOttawa, CanadaPerth, Australia
Phoenix, United StatesSan Francisco, United StatesSuva, FijiSydney, AustraliaTel Aviv, IsraelToronto, CanadaVancouver, Canada

What impact did Earth Hour 2007 have
Last year more than 2 million Sydney residents joined Earth Hour by flicking the switch, turning appliances off stand-by and enjoying an hour of quiet darkness, according to a poll conducted by AMR Interactive.
Earth Hour shows that, together, our small actions can make a difference to global warming. There are two key objectives for Earth Hour. The first is to engage as many households, communities and business to turn their lights out for one hour on March 29 2008 from 8pm’ 9pm.

What about in places other than Sydney
Last year we focused on one city because of the massive amount of coordination and organisation required to get a city to turn off it’s lights! We didn’t have the resources to expand the campaign in 2007 ‘ even though we know many people participated outside of Sydney ‘ and so we weren’t able to measure participation results from outside Sydney.
In 2008, however, Earth Hour will be taking place in over 20 cities around the world, and the list keeps growing. We always hoped that Earth Hour would grow into a global campaign. To start this process we focused on one of Australia’s, and the world’s iconic cities. Thanks to the success of Earth Hour in 2007 we’ve now asked other cities, both in Australia and abroad, to join us in supporting Earth Hour.
What is Earth Hour
Earth Hour, run by WWF, the conservation organisation, is a global climate change initiative which calls on individuals and businesses around the world, to turn off their lights for one hour on Saturday March 29 2008 between 8 pm and 9pm.
The aim of the campaign is to express that individual action on a mass scale can help change our planet for the better.
The event itself will clearly demonstrate in participating cities, the connection between energy usage and climate change, showing that we as broader community can address the biggest threat our planet has ever faced.
Why do we need to act
Global warming is one of the greatest threats the world has ever faced. Our continued reliance on electricity sourced from coal-fired power stations is causing a dramatic increase in the Earth’s temperature, resulting in rising sea levels, an increase in drought and severe storms, and massive changes to the environment we all rely on to survive.
For example, if the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.
