The WAMI Toolkit
WAMI: Web-Accessible Multimodal Applications
WAMI is a simple way to add speech recognition capabilities to any web page. We've just upgraded our interface to use Flash behind the scenes for a smoother client-experience!
WAMI is being developed by the Spoken Language Systems group at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. If you are interested only in the audio-recording capabilities of WAMI, please take a look at the WAMI recorder.
Simple examples:
- Play a game of Voice Tic-Tac-Toe
- Do some math on the Voice Calculator
- The Parrot will repeat a few simple phrases.
- Developers, test your grammars in our Grammar Sandbox
More interesting examples:
- Quizlet is a popular flashcard website that has used WAMI to create two speech games: Voice Scatter and Voice Race.
- City Browser has information about restaurants, hotels, museums, addresses, and driving directions.
- Islands has several games for learning Mandarin Chinese, including two mash-ups that teach beginners driving directions and dates and times.
- MIT Mobile works in the Wami iPhone app to provide a spoken interface to the campus map.
Please note: all audio sent to MIT's servers will be logged for research purposes. Your WAMI application should notify users of this fact.
