"I was often annoyed when I dictated emails to my smartphone because technical terms were practically never understood properly," he says. To ensure that the speech recognition no longer turns "Stammzellen" into "Stammtisch", for example, "we trained the system with many corresponding words". Rainbow can now use voice commands to control laboratory equipment, perform scientific calculations, read out laboratory protocols, take notes and much more.
"However, the system is open and can be easily expanded by anyone to suit their individual needs and vocabulary," explains Nicole Rupp, PhD student and research assistant in the Laboratory for Bioanalytics and Laboratory Automation. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet.
