Social media company Facebook seems to be doing everything possible to improve its speech recognition technology. On Thursday, the company said that it would record voice samples from select users, which would be used to improve the company’s speech recognition system. The company took this decision when Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, including Facebook itself, have been accused of secretly listening to users without their permission to improve the speech recognition system.
Facebook said that these voice recording samples of people will be gathered by the Viewpoints market research app as part of the company’s promotion program. The user will be able to participate in the program only if qualified. Once selected, the user has to say the name of a friend from the friend list by saying ‘Hey Portal’. This has to be done with the names of about 10 friends. At the same time, a statement has to be recorded by speaking twice.
