PlayStation Job Posting Suggests PS4 Speech Recognition
The launch of the PlayStation 4 will herald the coming of a brand new DualShock controller. It will also herald the implementation of built-in voice recognition according to a LinkedIn job post.

The listing seeks a 'Speech Recognition Engineering Intern'. The role requires "some previous knowledge of speech recognition and signal processing" and will require the candidate to work in the realm of "speech noise reduction, speech detection, recognition, noisy rejection, and grammar processing under various environments."

In addition to this, it seems that whatever technology Sony is working on will need to work in a noisy environment. Reads the job post, candidates will work with "robust speech feature extraction and signal processing for speech enhancement, speech enhance and processing of noisy speech with human voice in the background."

Sony is set to unveil more PS4 details at E3, if not before. We'll find out if it intends to compete with Microsoft's Kinect then.
