Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is characterized by accepting voice input defining at least one spoken word; and calibrating the at least one spoken word in response to at least one defined speech-energy criterion. In one embodiment, a related system includes but is not limited to circuitry and/or programming for effecting the foregoing-referenced method embodiment; the circuitry and/or programming can be virtually any combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware configured to effect the foregoing-referenced method embodiments depending upon the design choices of the system designer.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- accepting voice input defining at least one spoken word;
- calibrating the at least one spoken word in response to at least one defined speech-energy criterion, wherein said calibrating includes setting a target RMS value, setting a tolerance value within a predefined range of the target RMS value, calculating an actual RMS value, calculating a scaling factor and applying the scaling factor to the actual RMS value if the actual RMS value is not within the tolerance value and determining if the scaled RMS value is within the tolerance value.
A system comprising:
- means for accepting voice input defining at least one spoken word;
- and means for calibrating the at least one spoken word in response to at least one defined speech-energy criterion, wherein said calibrating includes setting a target RMS value, setting a tolerance value within a predefined range of the target RMS value, calculating an actual RMS value, calculating a scaling factor and applying the scaling factor to the actual RMS value if the actual RMS value is not within the tolerance value and determining if the scaled RMS value is within the tolerance value.
