Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how voice recognition technology can be utilized to solve the elderly problem rapidly aging in Korea. Public support services and civilian nursing services for the elderly are expected to expand in Korea. In this case, voice recognition technology can be used variously for the elderly who are not familiar with the media interface. To this end, our researchers visited Japan and examined the achievements obtained by voice recognition technology in the elderly care. Especially, when caregivers write reports, they have greatly reduced their working hours by replacing the handwritten reports with ones using voice recognition technology. This method can be easily implemented in Korea. In addition, the social cost of the elderly support can be gradually reduced through the development of a robot equipped with voice recognition technology. Consequently, we realize that when voice recognition technology is combined with artificial intelligence programs of various emotion recognition functions and various policy possibilities as well.

본 연구는 음성인식기술이 급격한 고령화를 맞고 있는 우리 사회의 노인문제 해결을 위해 어떻게 활용될 수 있는지를 목표로 삼았다. 국내에서도 본격적으로 고령자들을 위한 공공지원서비스나 민간간병 서비스 등이 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 이 때 음성인식기술은 미디어인터페이스에 익숙하지 못한 노인들에게 다양하게 활용될 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구진은 국내의 음성인식기술의 활용가능성과 일본 방문시 노인 간병에서 음성인식기술을 통해 이룬 성과를 조사했다. 특히 간병인들이 보고서를 작성할 때 음성인식기술을 이용해 수기로 작성하던 보고를 대체하여 업무시간을 크게 축소한 바 있는데, 이러한 방법은 국내에서도 쉽게 정책적으로 실행될 수 있다고 판단했으며, 음성인식기술이 탑재된 로봇의 개발을 통해 노인부양의 사회적 비용을 줄여야 한다는 결론 역시 도달했다. 아울러 음성인식기술이 다양한 정서인식기능의 인공지능기반 프로그램과 결합을 통한 다양한 정책이 도모되어야 한다는 사실 역시 제안할 수 있게 되었다.
