BEST Speech is the speech recognition and response application for BEST.
As an extension of the BEST Talk platform, BEST Speech provides a realistic environment for training controllers either without the need for a pseudo pilot, or to supplement pseudo pilots.
With ICAO 4444 phraseology as standard, the user is provided with the tools to quickly customise the system to suit their operational environment. This includes automatic conversion of airspace data into recognition phrases, plus increasing the flexibility of the system with multiple recognition and response phrases.
Choose the recognition phrases to be used during an exercises
Modify and add data to improve results
Multiple grammar levels for ab-initio training through to TRUCE
Train any number of controllers at the same time
Many combinations of text-to-speech voices
No reliance on training a voice profile
