Creation of a Character Control System Using Fuzzy Japanese Speech Input

In this study, we developed a character control interface for a virtual character using fuzzy voice input in Japanese. Previous voice input interfaces have used pre-registered words in the system to control characters. The system uses the Japanese WordNet, a Japanese semantic dictionary, to associate words including synonyms with the character's commands so that even fuzzy voice input can be easily controlled. This system is considered to be effective as a voice input interface for systems that require instantaneous operations, such as action games.
