Abstract(in English) In order to provide an efficient means of communication for those who cannot move muscles of their whole body except eyes due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we propose an speech synthesis interface based on electrooculogram (EOG) input. The system consists of EOG electrodes, an EOG recognition system, and a speech synthesis system. In this paper, we report experiments about the EOG recognition system that we have developed borrowing speech recognition techniques using hidden Markov model (HMM). In the experiments, we first make user-dependent EOG recognition systems. It is shown that the systems give 95.7% recognition accuracy on average. While they give high recognition performance, a problem is that they need a large amount of user-specific data for model training. From the application point of view, user-independent systems are preferable. As the second experiment, we evaluate the effect of individual differences in EOG recognition. It is shown that the recognition accuracy largely drops if there is a mismatch between the EOG model and recognition data. As the last experiment, we apply speaker adaptation techniques that have been developed for speech recognition to EOG recognition, and show that they are effective to improve EOG recognition accuracy.
