Abstract
Various implementations include systems for processing audio signals. In particular implementations, a process includes receiving an audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes a speech component of the user and a noise component; filtering the audio signal with a self-speech filter that utilizes an intrinsic user vector to filter out the speech component, wherein the intrinsic user vector is determined based on a voice input of the user; and outputting a filtered audio signal in which the speech component of the user has been substantially removed from the audio signal.
Claims23
A method of removing user speech for a hearing assist device, comprising:
- receiving an audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes a speech component of the user and a noise component;
- filtering the audio signal with a self-speech filter that utilizes an intrinsic user vector to filter the speech component, wherein the intrinsic user vector is determined based on a voice input of the user;
- and
- outputting a filtered audio signal in which the speech component of the user has been substantially removed from the audio signal.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to remove user speech for a hearing assist device according to a method that comprises:
- receiving an audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes a speech component of the user and a noise component;
- filtering the audio signal with a self-speech filter that utilizes an intrinsic user vector to filter out the speech component, wherein the intrinsic user vector is determined based on a voice input of the user;
- and
- outputting a filtered audio signal in which the speech component of the user has been substantially removed from the audio signal.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform a method that comprises:
- receiving an audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes a targeted speech component of a non-device user and a noise component;
- filtering the audio signal with a targeted speech enhancer that utilizes an intrinsic user vector to substantially pass only the targeted speech component, wherein the intrinsic user vector is determined based on a voice input of the non-device user;
- and
- outputting a speech enhanced audio signal substantially containing only the targeted speech component.
