Voice Technology at the University of Groningen

Contribute to one of the fastest growing sectors!
 

Speech technologies have permeated modern life so much that we hardly even notice their presence, much less understand how they work. Whenever you dictate a message on your smartphone, ask Alexa the weather, use instant translation software, or learn a language using an app, you are using voice technologies. And with new Internet-of-Things applications on the horizon, smart spaces and the presence of Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Bixby and Google Home are poised to grow even further. Voice technologies are a multibillion dollar industry with potential for unparalleled social and scientific impact.

Innovate, explore, create!

This programme is very hands-on. You will get your hands dirty working in teams making synthetic voices, speech recognizers, and more. You’ll even make your own voice-tech demo. People with scientific expertise in the domain of voice technology are in short supply. We aim to fix that. Starting with you! In this one-year programme, you will join cutting-edge scholars, professionals, and technologists working at the forefront of voice technology innovation.

If you are interested in challenges relating to

•     synthetic voices and speech recognition
•     the interplay between voice, language, speech and technology
•     tools to support lesser-resourced, minoritized languages
•     radical innovation around voice forensics, including topics like accent recognition, intoxication detection, real-time speech pathology analysis, etc.

… then join us at the University of Groningen (Campus Fryslân) MSc Voice Technology.

Voice Technology at the University of Groningen

Considering the numbers for the sectors ICT and linguistics, estimations are that people working in ICT and specifically application developers have remarkably positive career perspectives. These estimates are also reflected in the rapidly growing international market for voice assistants, smart speakers, and countless other IoT-connected devices enabled with voice technology.

Considering only the case for the Netherlands, after the introduction of Dutch-enabled smart speakers in 2018, the market for these products grew from 0% to 5% in under five months! The trend continues upward. Overall, the career perspectives for graduates from the Voice Technology MSc. are remarkably positive.

In designing this programme, we interview many Dutch speech technology companies. All of them have difficulties fulfilling local vacancies and remarked on the paucity of applicants with the requisite combination of linguistic knowledge, programming skills and experience with machine learning, all of which are core to the MSc Voice Technology.
