Continuous Bangla Speech Segmentation using Short-term Speech Features Extraction Approaches
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
This paper presents simple and novel feature extraction approaches for segmenting continuous Bangla speech sentences into words/sub-words. These methods are based on two simple speech features, namely the time-domain features and the frequency-domain features. The time-domain features, such as short-time signal energy, short-time average zero crossing rate and the frequency-domain features, such as spectral centroid and spectral flux features are extracted in this research work. After the feature sequences are extracted, a simple dynamic thresholding criterion is applied in order to detect the word boundaries and label the entire speech sentence into a sequence of words/sub-words. All the algorithms used in this research are implemented in Matlab and the implemented automatic speech segmentation system achieved segmentation accuracy of 96%.
