matlab source code for voice to text conversion

Speech to text conversion is the process of converting spoken words into written texts. This process is also often called speech recognition. Although these terms are almost synonymous, Speech recognition is sometimes used to describe the wider process of extracting meaning from speech, i.e. speech understanding. The term voice recognition should be avoided as it is often associated to the process of identifying a person from their voice, i.e. speaker recognition.

How does it work?

All speech-to-text systems rely on at least two models: an acoustic model and a language model. In addition large vocabulary systems use a pronunciation model. It is important to understand that there is no such thing as a universal speech recognizer. To get the best transcription quality, all of these models can be specialized for a given language, dialect, application domain, type of speech, and communication channel.
Like any other pattern recognition technology, speech recognition cannot be error free. The speech transcript accuracy is highly dependent on the speaker, the style of speech and the environmental conditions. Speech recognition is a harder process than what people commonly think, even for a human being. Humans are used to understanding speech, not to transcribing it, and only speech that is well formulated can be transcribed without ambiguity.

From the user's point of view, a speech-to-text system can be categorized based in its use: command and control, dialog system, text dictation, audio document transcription, etc. Each use has specific requirements in terms of latency, memory constraints, vocabulary size, and adaptive features.

VoxSigma

The VoxSigma software suite offers large vocabulary multilingual speech-to-text capabilities with state-of-the-art accuracy. It has been specifically designed for professional users, needing to transcribe large quantities of audio and video documents such as broadcast data, either in batch mode or in real-time. It can also be used to analyze call-center data.
The complete voice-to-text conversion process is done in three steps. The software first identifies the audio segments containing speech, then it recognizes the language being spoken if it is not known a priori, and finally it converts the speech segments to text and time-codes. VoxSigma includes adaptive features allowing the transcription of noisy speech such as speech with background music. The result is a fully annotated XML document including speech and non speech segments, speaker labels, words with time codes, high quality confidence scores, and punctuations. This XML file can be directly indexed by a search engine, or alternatively can be converted into plain text.

Vocapia Research also offers services to adapt, tune or create specific models or systems tailored to exactly match your needs. Tailoring models for your application is the best way to ensure you get the best possible results for your needs. High accuracy is essential to maximize your ROI, as to a first approximation, the cost of using a speech-to-text system is proportional to the system's error rate. Therefore using a system with a 80% accuracy (i.e. 20% error) may cost almost twice that of using a system with a 90% accuracy (i.e. 10% error). This is also be the case for systems with 90% and 95% accuracy, although the difference in error rate is 5%, the first system makes twice as many errors as the second.

Speech processing is currently a key focus for many researchers in the area of DSP. In this project, we focus on the topic of voice conversion, which involves producing the words from one person (the source speaker ) in the voice of another person (the target speaker ).
We can do this using DSP because every person s distinct vocal qualities are essentially caused by their vocal tract, which forms a transfer function between the input excitation and the output signal that we hear. We can isolate this transfer function through methods such as cepstral analysis and linear prediction coding, which we describe in detail. The second major identifier between different speakers is the pitch range of their words. We can change the pitch through methods such as the PSOLA, which we also describe.
The vocal tract transfer function and pitch range are different for different sounds. Thus, in synthesizing a phrase, we must first break the signal into smaller segments and analyze each individually. Our windowing algorithm divides the signal based on breaks between different syllables and words. We then use functions from the Praat program developed by Paul Boersma and David Weenink of the University of Amsterdam (praat.org) to perform the analysis and synthesis.
Voice conversion has numerous applications, such as the areas of foreign language training and movie dubbing. It is closely related to the process of speech synthesis, which usually refers to converting text into spoken language, and has many applications, especially relating to assistance for the blind and deaf. Other areas in speech processing, such as speaker verification, have applications in security. All of these different types of speech signal processing involve related methods that we investigated through this project, especially cepstral analysis, linear prediction coding, and the PSOLA method.

Abstract

Speech is an easiest way to communicate with each other. Speech processing is widely used in many applications like security devices,
household appliances, cellular phones, ATM machines and computers. The human computer interface has been developed to communicate or interact
conveniently for one who is suffering from some kind of disabilities. Speech-to-Text Conversion (STT) systems have a lot of benefits for the deaf or
dumb people and find their applications in our daily lives. In the same way, the aim of the system is to convert the input speech signals into the text
output for the deaf or dumb students in the educational fields. This paper presents an approach to extract features by using Mel Frequency Cepstral
Coefficients (MFCC) from the speech signals of isolated spoken words. And, Hidden Markov Model (HMM) method is applied to train and test the audio
files to get the recognized spoken word. The speech database is created by using MATLAB.Then, the original speech signals are preprocessed and
these speech samples are extracted to the feature vectors which are used as the observation sequences of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM)
recognizer. The feature vectors are analyzed in the HMM depending on the number of states.
