Speech To Text Weather Forecasting Management Information System:- Nathaniel, Favour K

ABSTRACT

Weatherforecasting is the prediction ofthe state ofthe atmosphere for a given location using the application of science and technology. This includes temperature, rain, cloudiness, wind speed, and humidity. Weather warnings are a special kind ofshort-range forecast carried out for the protection of people’s life. Weather forecasting modeling is a computer program that provides meteorological information for future times at given locations. Computerized numerical models are designed for different intervals which are known as global models under which we have long range forecast and medium range forecast and regional models under which we have the short range forecast. The methods include persistence, climatologic, looking at the sky, use of barometer, now casting, use of forecasting models, analogue and ensemble forecasting. Forecasting could be applied in air traffic, severe weather alerts, marine, agriculture, utility companies, private sector and military application. This work was motivated by the need to overcome the inconveniences of the ancient model pattern used to forecast weather or rainfall. Weather forecasting is a complex and challenging science that depends on the efficient interplay of weather observation, data analysis by meteorologist and computers and rapid communication system The system was achieved by developing a platform for an automated speech to text weather forecasting system, build a database structure used to store data, develop a platform that will help businesses people to plan for power production, create a platform that helps people prepare ifthey need to take extra gear to prepare for the weather, design a platform that helps people plan outdoor activities, create a platform that helps farmers and gardeners plan for crop irrigation and protection, design a platform that helps businesses plan for transportation hazards that can result from the weather. This research was realized through the adoption of primary and secondary sources of data collection which includes interview, observation, questionnaire, surfing the net, journals and the adoption ofwaterfall model. In general, this research serves as an educative tool to the general public on the areas of life text to speech technology that can be applied to whether. The proposed system was implemented by the researcher using Visual Basic.Net ’ programming language.
