Speech processing technologies are crucial for numerous commercial applications. The ESPERANTO project, funded by the EU, aims to make the next generation of AI algorithms used in speech processing applications more accessible. For instance, they should consider human involvement and be interpretable to allow sensitive applications and safeguard personal data. ESPERANTO envisions disseminating these technologies across European SMEs, expanding and ensuring their implementation for forensic, healthcare, and educational purposes. The project will support the development of freely accessible tools, conduct seminars on various speech processing themes to assist new students, researchers, and engineers working in speech AI, and contribute to the collection and sharing of linguistic and speech-related resources.
