Abstract

A device performs a method for using image data to aid voice recognition. The method includes the device capturing () image data of a vicinity of the device and adjusting (), based on the image data, a set of parameters for voice recognition performed by the device (). The set of parameters for the device performing voice recognition include, but are not limited to: a trigger threshold of a trigger for voice recognition; a set of beamforming parameters; a database for voice recognition; and/or an algorithm for voice recognition. The algorithm may include using noise suppression or using acoustic beamforming.
