SPEECH RECOGNITION OF AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18147930 titled 'SPEECH RECOGNITION OF AUDIO
The patent application discusses methods and systems for enhancing audio intelligibility through source separation and reverberation data analysis.
- Source separation process is used to determine a portion of audio data associated with a source.
- Reverberation data related to the source is determined based on the identified portion of audio data.
- An updated portion of the audio data associated with the source is generated using the reverberation data and the source separation process.
- An audio signal linked to the source is produced based on the updated audio data.
Potential Applications: - Audio enhancement in noisy environments - Improving speech recognition systems - Enhancing audio quality in telecommunication devices
Problems Solved: - Enhancing audio intelligibility in challenging acoustic environments - Improving the quality of audio signals for better communication
Benefits: - Clearer audio signals for improved understanding - Enhanced user experience in various audio applications
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Audio Intelligibility Technology for Communication Devices This technology can be utilized in telecommunication devices, conference systems, and public address systems to improve audio quality and intelligibility, leading to better communication outcomes and user satisfaction.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve audio quality in noisy environments? - This technology uses source separation and reverberation data analysis to enhance audio intelligibility by isolating the source signal and reducing the impact of reverberation, resulting in clearer audio output. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond audio enhancement? - This technology can also be applied in speech recognition systems, audio transcription services, and audio editing software to improve accuracy and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems for audio intelligibility enhancement are disclosed. A portion of audio data associated with a source may be determined based on a source separation process. Reverberation data associated with the source may be determined based on the portion of the audio data associated with the source. An updated portion of the audio data associated with the source may be generated based on the reverberation data associated with the source and the source separation process. An audio signal associated with the source may be generated based on the updated portion of the audio data associated with the source.
