Chapter 749: Chapter 317 Voice Recognition_2 Chapter 749: Chapter 317 Voice Recognition_2 Yan Fei said, “Boss Liu, please speak a sentence in your hometown dialect. You can increase the difficulty as you see fit and engage in a dialogue with it to see if our voice assistant can recognize it for you.”

Everyone became curious; they all wanted to see just how capable Yan Fei's highly recommended voice assistant really was.

Boss Liu prepared himself, remembered a joke he had seen online, and then spoke in Bashan dialect:

“Journalists asked the survivors of a spontaneously combusting Bashan bus: Was there a hammer on the bus?

Survivor: There was a hammer!

Journalist: There was a hammer, so why didn't you use it to break the windows?

Survivor: No way! There was no hammer at all!

Journalist: What? There were two hammers?

Survivor: Oh, I'm telling you nonsense!

Journalist: But we're talking about hammers!

Survivor: I can't make it clear to you!

Journalist: So what exactly was on the bus?

Survivor: Nothing at all!

Journalist: So there was nothing! No wonder it burnt so quickly!

Survivor, deceased.”

After Boss Liu finished speaking, he asked, “Dream, did you understand what I just said?”

“Dream” said, “I understood.”

Boss Liu said, “Here comes the question: Was there actually a hammer on the bus?”

“Dream” said, “There was no hammer on the bus.”

Boss Liu asked, “What exactly does 'there was a hammer's hammer' mean?”

Dream said, “The first 'hammer' is a Bashan expression for swearing at someone, and the second 'hammer' refers to an actual hammer. The phrase can be understood as 'There was no hammer at all!' It means 'there was no hammer'.”

Boss Liu asked, “Second question: 'I can't make it clear to you!' What does it mean?”

Dream said, “In Bashan dialect, 'to make it clear' means to be clear. The phrase means: 'I can't explain it to you clearly!'”

As everyone listened to the voice interaction between Boss Liu and Dream, they became increasingly astonished as the conversation deepened. It was not just because “Dream” had perfectly identified the meaning in Boss Liu's words and could converse smoothly with him. From this perspective, they realized that Yan Fei's voice assistant was very impressive indeed.

Keep in mind that their voice assistants often couldn't fully recognize even a slightly poor Mandarin, let alone execute a variety of commands from users. They also couldn't recognize and understand obscure dialects, much less carry on an unhindered conversation with users.

The interaction between Boss Liu and “Dream” was not over yet. Yan Fei said, “Dream, now record on the screen what Boss Liu said.”

Boss Liu thought for a moment and then used Bashan dialect to say, “A green chunk.”

The childlike voice then said, “Do you wish to record the original sound or translate it into Mandarin?”

Boss Liu said, “Translate it into Mandarin.”

Two characters appeared on the large screen: “Frog.”

The first thing everyone realized was that the Bashan people actually referred to a frog in that way. The second was that the voice assistant could not only differentiate dialects but could also translate them into Mandarin.

Boss Liu continued, “Scrape together,” and the characters on the large screen changed to “Tickle.”

Suddenly, Boss Liu pulled out a mobile phone, found a text online, and began to read in Mandarin: “Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the east wind arrives, spring's footsteps are near. Hmm, that's wrong, it should be autumn's footsteps are near.”

The large screen first displayed “Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the east wind arrives, spring's footsteps are near.”

“Dream” not only accurately recorded Boss Liu's reading but also automatically broke up his content and added punctuation marks. Then, after Boss Liu said “Hmm” and did not write it down, once it understood the following part, it automatically changed 'spring' to 'autumn' at the front.

Seeing this operation of the voice assistant, everyone was stunned. This task was extremely difficult. At the very least, the “so-called” voice assistants they had seen could not discern when users wanted to correct their content. However, this voice assistant perfectly understood Boss Liu's intention and amended the previous content according to his wish, demonstrating an impressive level of intelligence.

Yan Fei said, “Boss Liu, what do you think of this voice assistant? Do you think users would accept it?”

Boss Liu expressed his admiration: “Excellent, truly impressive. It recognized my thoughts perfectly and expressed them. I can say with certainty that from now on, humans will be able to use voice for input. I can't think of a reason why people wouldn't accept such an outstanding voice assistant.”

Pleased with Boss Liu's response, Yan Fei said, “From now on, humans will have one more method of input, that is, voice input. Our voice assistant can not only distinguish the Bashan dialect but almost any regional dialect, and it can accurately express your intended meaning.”

Mr. Wang immediately became interested and asked, “Does this voice assistant have any other features?”

Yan Fei said, “Having it recognize and understand what you're saying is just the first step, and it's the simplest one. Since it can understand the meaning of your words, it can naturally control your mobile phone as you request.”

Having said that, Yan Fei took out a brandless smartphone, placed it on the table, and said, “Dream, light up my screen, and then project my mobile phone's screen onto the large screen.”
