This one year master's in Voice Technology will give you the expertise you need to contribute to the cutting edge in voice synthesis and speech recognition.
This
interdisciplinary programme is suitable for students coming from
the social sciences, computer sciences, and the humanities. The
main requirement is interest, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn
new things. Speech
technologies have permeated life so much that we hardly even notice
their presence. Whenever you dictate a message on your smartphone,
ask Alexa the weather, or learn a language using an app, you are
using voice technologies. And with new Internet-of-Things
applications on the horizon, smart spaces and the presence of Siri,
Alexa, Cortana, and Google Home are poised to grow even
further.
This programme, developed in consultation with partners from Silicon Valley, local start-ups and universities worldwide, will ensure you acquire expertise in voice synthesis and speech recognition and have the requisite mastery of programming, machine learning, and speech sounds. You will work in teams to make your own synthetic voices, speech recognizers, and more. You’ll even make your own voice tech demo as a final project. People with scientific expertise in the domain of voice technology are in short supply. We aim to fix that. Starting with you!
