Abstract
Systems for the recognition of speech by computer have usually required t the speech be of a strictly standarized nature, free of such features as regional accent, and unaccompanied by background noise. The problem has been to produce a system providing information which will allow accurate recognition in the presence of noise, and with non-standard speech sounds. The invention provides to a computer in a speech recognition system information in parallel streams on a number of factors, viz, the existence, in any signal which may contain speech sounds, of a fundamental repetitive structure and its periodicity; the existence of a high frequency component having a wide frequency band; the existence of a component having energy relatively stable with respect to time and characteristic of background noise; the peak frequency, peak amplitude and band width of sounds lacking a low frequency component; and the frequency of resonant content of any component having a fundamental repetitive structure and the level of correlation.
