Searching Music Library Using
Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition:
Gracenote
improves music search and
navigation by identifying bands,
artists, and albums names that may
be hard to pronounce, irregular
spellings, and nicknames. For
example, Gracenote helps the
system understand artist names like
“INXS” or“Mötley Crüe.” It also
allows the use of names like: “The
Boss,” “G.N.R,” “The Fab Four,” and
thousands of other famous artist
nicknames as voice commands to
access music. See Voice
Recognition on page 79.
Normalization: Normalization helps
to improve the voice recognition
accuracy for titles that sound similar.
It also helps group long lists of
genres into 10 common genres.
For example, there may be multiple
rock genres in the media library;
normalization will group all those
into one rock genre. Normalization
default is off.
