AI wave hit, along with the breakthrough of key technology, artificial intelligence is infiltrating into all walks of life, entering the period of commercial development.
As we all know, children’s consumer market has always been a place for business. In 2016, the scale of children’s consumption market has reached 2 trillion yuan, and shows a trend of increasing year by year.
Intelligent children’s products are the trend of The Times. Storytelling machines, companion robots, telephone watches, etc., the field of children’s intelligence coming along the way is undoubtedly a market with huge demand. The rapid development of the industry, children’s intelligent robot market has reached “100 billion” level.
Intelligent speakers are a successful example of artificial intelligence products in children’s consumer market. According to data released at the 2018 Baidu World Conference, children account for 20 percent of smart speaker users.
Children’s smart speakers, such as the Tmall Wizard, have quickly moved the market for children’s smart products
For example, Alibaba’s Tmall ELF children’s smart speakers have long been a hit with parents. The smart speaker is designed for children with a number of functions designed for children. Children can listen to songs, stories and games by simply speaking voice commands.
Famous AI companies have made many layouts around children’s smart speakers.
In addition to Alibaba, Amazon introduced the Echo Dot II smart speaker for children; Baidu’s Xiaodu smart speaker added a new “children’s mode”; Xiaomi’s Mi Rabbit intelligent storyteller is designed for children; The smart speaker “Xiaoya Mini” launched by Himalaya FM is mainly aimed at children aged 0~14…

The intelligent education industry is targeting the children’s consumer market, especially during this year’s epidemic, widely distributed, ushered in another golden period of development.
For example, for children’s English learning, the “Kids’ English Reading” APP not only provides the function of following and reading, but also gives marks according to students’ reading performance.
All the students need to do is click on the recording mark and read after them before the red circle completes, and the APP will automatically rate the students’ English pronunciation. And after the score is scored, different colors will be used to show where improvements can be made.

Today, smart products for children cover all ages of children. For babies, many companies are offering cameras that support baby cry detection, so that parents can automatically be alerted when a baby is crying.
Suning Little BIU child care camera not only supports two-way intercom between babies and parents, but also can capture, recognize and classify the cries of children. The Mini BIU is able to accurately detect the cries of babies aged 0-3 years, with an effective sound recognition distance of up to 4 meters. After recognizing the baby’s cry, the little Biu can also play a personalized nursery rhyme to calm the baby.
A cassette camera from Xiao Yi, Xiaomi’s eco-chain, also supports the detection of baby cries. When the camera detects the wavelength of the baby’s cry, the system sends a push notification to the parents’ phone.

The promotion and implementation of the above children’s intelligent products cannot be separated from the support of the key technology of children’s voice recognition.
Compared with adults, children speak in a shrill voice, their vocal chords vibrate faster and more frequently, and their pronunciation is less pronounced than adults. Therefore, universal speech recognition technology is not effective when it is aimed at children.
Therefore, many speech technology research and development enterprises have been committed to improving the accuracy of children’s speech recognition, and developed a special data set for children’s speech recognition.
For example, Rice Rabbit Intelligent Storyteller cultivates its own advantages in children’s speech parsing and semantic understanding by accessing Baidu AI intelligent speech recognition technology and based on nearly 200 million children’s speech interaction training data.

Hall as the world’s leading artificial intelligence data service provider, for children speech recognition this scene, developed the Chinese/English bilingual covered more than children ages of high quality children speech recognition, speech recognition training model can effectively applied to children, improve the adaptability of children’s speech, ascending children speech recognition rate of users.
The children’s voice data products of Datatang cover different ages, genders and application scenarios of children, and the voice data collected are all authorized by the person being collected. Based on this, the voice data of Datastang provides strong support for the landing application of more children’s intelligent products.
