Abstract
A method of diagnosing voices can include processing a test voice signal using an auditory model, determining at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal, and comparing the at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal with at least one baseline voice quality attribute. The method also can include determining a measure of voice quality of the test voice signal based upon the comparing step.
Claims30
A method of diagnosing voices comprising:
- processing a test voice signal using an auditory model;
- determining at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal;
- comparing the at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal with at least one baseline voice quality attribute;
- and
- based upon said comparing step, determining at least one measure of voice quality of the test voice signal.
A system for diagnosing voices comprising:
- means for processing a test voice signal using an auditory model;
- means for determining at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal;
- means for comparing the at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal with at least one baseline voice quality attribute;
- and
- means for determining at least one measure of voice quality of the test voice signal based upon said means for comparing.
A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
- processing a test voice signal using an auditory model;
- determining at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal;
- comparing the at least one voice quality attribute from the test voice signal with at least one baseline voice quality attribute;
- and
- based upon said comparing step, determining at least one measure of voice quality of the test voice signal.
