What is speaker segmentation?
Speaker segmentation is the process of partitioning an input audio stream into acoustically homogeneous segments according to the speaker identity. A typical speaker segmentation system finds potential speaker change points using the audio characteristics.
Why is speech segmentation important in speech perception?
Speech segmentation is the process by which the brain determines where one meaningful unit (e.g., word or morpheme) ends and the next begins in continuous speech, and it is critical for auditory language processing.
What is segmentation relative to speech perception?
Speech segmentation is the process of identifying the boundaries between words, syllables, or phonemes in spoken natural languages. The term applies both to the mental processes used by humans, and to artificial processes of natural language processing.
How many types of speech recognition systems are there?
There are two types of speech recognition. One is called speaker–dependent and the other is speaker–independent. Speaker–dependent software is commonly used for dictation software, while speaker–independent software is more commonly found in telephone applications.
