Abstract
Technologies for ambient assisted living (AAL) are used to increase the quality of life of older or impaired persons. This contribution discusses the utilization of automatic speech recognition (ASR) as a natural interface for control of assistive technologies in everyday life situations. We focus on the use of hands-free systems, the technical challenges for the ASR software caused by this and the benefits for older persons. Moreover, state-of-the-art approaches for improving robustness of ASR systems are presented, discussed and demonstrated by an ASR experiment.
