Abstract
An audio interval detection apparatus comprising a processor and a storage storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to: detect from a target audio signal a specified audio interval including a specified audio signal representing a state of a phoneme of a same consonant produced continuously over a period longer than a specified time, and by eliminating, from the target audio signal at least the detected specified audio interval, detect from the target audio signal an utterance audio interval that includes a speech utterance signal representing a speech utterance uttered by a speaker.
Claims18
An audio interval detection apparatus comprising a processor and a storage storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to:
- detect from a target audio signal a specified audio interval including a specified audio signal representing a state of a phoneme of a same consonant produced continuously over a period longer than a specified time, and
- by eliminating, from the target audio signal at least the detected specified audio interval, detect from the target audio signal an utterance audio interval that includes a speech utterance signal representing a speech utterance uttered by a speaker.
A method executed by an audio interval detection apparatus,
- the audio interval detection apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage storing instructions executed by the processor,
- wherein the method comprises:
- detecting from a target audio signal a specified audio interval including a specified audio signal representing a state of a phoneme of a same consonant produced continuously over a period longer than a specified time, and
- by eliminating, from the target audio signal at least the detected specified audio interval, detecting from the target audio signal an utterance audio interval that includes a speech utterance signal representing a speech utterance uttered by a speaker.
A non-transitory recording medium having a program recorded thereon that is executable to control a processor of an audio interval detection apparatus comprising the processor and a storage storing instructions executed by the processor, the program, when executed by the processor, controls the processor to:
- detect from a target audio signal a specified audio interval including a specified audio signal representing a state of a phoneme of a same consonant produced continuously over a period longer than a specified time, and
- by eliminating, from the target audio signal at least the detected specified audio interval, detect from the target audio signal an utterance audio interval that includes a speech utterance signal representing a speech utterance uttered by a speaker.
