Abstract
An acoustic horn is accessed. The acoustic horn is coupled to a head of a user. Audio from a whispered voice of the user is obtained. The whispered voice includes one or more words. The words can comprise a full natural language input. A signal processing module generates audio data. The audio data is based on the whispered voice that was obtained. The audio data is translated, by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, into text. The text corresponds to the one or more words. The ASR model can send the text to a large language model (LLM). The acoustic horn transmits sound energy from the user to the signal processing module. The acoustic horn includes one or more impedance matching layers.
Claims21
A processor-implemented method for audio processing comprising:
- accessing an acoustic horn, wherein the acoustic horn is coupled to a head of a user;
- obtaining, by the acoustic horn, audio from a whispered voice of the user, wherein the whispered voice includes one or more words;
- generating audio data, by a signal processing module, wherein the audio data is based on the whispered voice that was obtained;
- and
- translating, by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, the audio data into text, wherein the text corresponds to the one or more words.
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for audio processing, the computer program product comprising code which causes one or more processors to perform operations of:
- accessing an acoustic horn, wherein the acoustic horn is coupled to a head of a user;
- obtaining, by the acoustic horn, audio from a whispered voice of the user, wherein the whispered voice includes one or more words;
- generating audio data, by a signal processing module, wherein the audio data is based on the whispered voice that was obtained;
- and
- translating, by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, the audio data into text, wherein the text corresponds to the one or more words.
A computer system for audio processing comprising:
- a memory which stores instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors, when executing the instructions which are stored, are configured to:
- access an acoustic horn, wherein the acoustic horn is coupled to a head of a user;
- obtain, by the acoustic horn, audio from a whispered voice of the user, wherein the whispered voice includes one or more words;
- generate audio data, by a signal processing module, wherein the audio data is based on the whispered voice that was obtained;
- and
- translate, by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, the audio data into text, wherein the text corresponds to the one or more words.
