This research paper introduces "Word Sri," an inventive voice-based web application designed to enhance written Sinhala communication and originality. The application incorporates features such as a plagiarism checker, grammar checker, voice-activated punctuation, and intuitive voice commands in an effort to accommodate a diverse user base, including individuals with disabilities, language learners, writers, journalists, students, and professionals. The first aspect of the paper explores the creation of a user-friendly Sinhala Grammar Checker with Fix Sentences & Punctuation, addressing the dearth of effective language tools for grammar, punctuation, and orthography correction. Using a comprehensive analysis of Sinhala language components, literature, and a corpus of text data, the model provides students, academicians, and professionals with real-time error feedback and correction. The second aspect highlights the distinctive characteristics of the "Word Sri" application, emphasizing its usefulness for voice-based Sinhala content creation. Notably, the application includes a cutting-edge Sinhala plagiarism analyzer that uses machine learning algorithms, synonym and paraphrase detection to improve the originality of content. This research represents a significant advancement in Sinhala language technology, as it provides a unified platform for efficient voice-based typing, accurate grammar checks, and plagiarism detection, thereby facilitating effective written communication and originality in Sinhala for global users.

“…Since speech is one of the most natural methods of human communication, voice-enabled technologies hold great promise as intuitive user interfaces (89,90). In the last decade, huge strides have been made in the development of efficient voice user interfaces (VUIs) thanks to progress in NLP (91).…”

Modern quantum chemistry algorithms are increasingly able to accurately predict molecular properties that are useful for chemists in research and education. Despite this progress, performing such calculations is currently unattainable to the wider chemistry community, as they often require domain expertise, computer programming skills, and powerful computer hardware. In this review, we outline methods to eliminate these barriers using cutting-edge technologies. We discuss the ingredients needed to create accessible platforms that can compute quantum chemistry properties in real time, including graphical processing units–accelerated quantum chemistry in the cloud, artificial intelligence–driven natural molecule input methods, and extended reality visualization. We end by highlighting a series of exciting applications that assemble these components to create uniquely interactive platforms for computing and visualizing spectra, 3D structures, molecular orbitals, and many other chemical properties. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, Volume 74 is April 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…Human-computer voice interaction design aims to simulate human-to-human verbal communication ( Murad et al, 2019 ). Many intelligent voice devices define the voice interaction system as the user’s “intelligent voice assistant” ( Rakotomalala et al, 2021 ) and refer to the user as the “master” during the conversation. This design reflects the relationship of ownership, subordination, and domination between the user and the voice device, comparable to the relationship between superiors and subordinates in interpersonal interactions ( Nass et al, 1994 ; Powers and Kiesler, 2006 ; Ostrowski et al, 2022 ).…”

Voice user interface (VUI) is widely used in developing intelligent products due to its low learning cost. However, most of such products do not consider the cognitive and language ability of elderly people, which leads to low interaction efficiency, poor user experience, and unfriendliness to them. Firstly, the paper analyzes the factors which influence the voice interaction behavior of elderly people: speech rate of elderly people, dialog task type, and feedback word count. And then, the voice interaction simulation experiment was designed based on the wizard of Oz testing method. Thirty subjects (M = 61.86 years old, SD = 7.16; 15 males and 15 females) were invited to interact with the prototype of a voice robot through three kinds of dialog tasks and six configurations of the feedback speech rate. Elderly people’s speech rates at which they speak to a person and to a voice robot, the feedback speech rates they expected for three dialog tasks were collected. The correlation between subjects’ speech rate and the expected feedback speech rate, the influence of dialog task type, and feedback word count on elderly people’s expected feedback speech rate were analyzed. The results show that elderly people speak to a voice robot with a lower speech rate than they speak to a person, and they expected the robot feedback speech rate to be lower than the rate they speak to the robot. There is a positive correlation between subjects’ speech rate and the expected speech rate, which implies that elderly people with faster speech rates expected a faster feedback speech rate. There is no significant difference between the elderly people’s expected speech rate for non-goal-oriented and goal-oriented dialog tasks. Meanwhile, a negative correlation between the feedback word count and the expected feedback speech rate is found. This study extends the knowledge boundaries of VUI design by investigating the influencing factors of voice interaction between elderly people and VUI. These results also provide practical implications for developing suitable VUI for elderly people, especially for regulating the feedback speech rate of VUI.
