1. A system for voice-based control of sexual stimulation devices, comprising:
a computing device comprising a memory and a processor;
a microphone connected to the computing device and configured to receive audio and transmit the audio to the computing device;
a speech detector comprising a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the computing device to:
receive the audio via the microphone, the audio comprising speech;
detect speech in the audio;
transcribe the detected speech to text using an automated speech recognition engine; and
send the text to a speech analyzer;
a speech analyzer comprising a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the computing device to:
receive the text from the speech detector;
detect a language in which the text is written;
perform keyword spotting on the text using words from the detected language to identify one or more keywords related to control commands; and
send an expressed control change to a control signal generator, the expressed control change corresponding to the one or more keywords; and
a control signal generator comprising a third plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the computing device to:
receive the expressed control change; and
generate a control signal for a sexual stimulation device based on the expressed control change.
