Abstract

Instead of being open source, Ubuntu system functionality is complex to understand and use. Non-technical people are less familiar with Ubuntu operating system and avoid to use it. So, to make the Ubuntu system more user-friendly we have developed U-Voice Assistant System. U-Voice Assistant System takes input as voice commands, processes it and performs action accordingly. The system will first record the user action in the form of audio signal. Then, it will process the audio signal to generate the text. At last, it will interpret and perform an appropriate action. The system uses deep neural network (DNN) for speech to text conversion.
