Abstract

Systems and methods for vehicle microphone activation and/or identification of incoming speech-to-text data by the location of the speaking occupant. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a plurality of microphones, each of which may be linked with a particular occupant/seat in the vehicle. The system may be configured to link incoming STT data with a particular microphone/occupant. This may be done by an explicit trigger from an occupant or by actuation of a button or other actuation means by a vehicle occupant. The STT data may then be processed using the location data.
