example 1

[0064] Example 1. There are overlapping voices in the voice signal. For example, the acquired text information corresponding to the voice signal is as follows.

[0065] User A: I don't know that's true;

[0066] User B: True.

[0067] Analysis: The words spoken by user A and user B include the same voice "really", and there are overlapping voices. Although the overlapping voices belong to non-linguistic information, they do not belong to the dragging information, hesitation information and delay information in non-linguistic information Any one of them, therefore, the detection duration when the speech end endpoint is detected will be processed according to the second duration in step 203.

example 2

[0068] Example 2. There are deep utterances in the voice signal. For example, the acquired text information corresponding to the voice signal is as follows.

[0069] User A: Let's wait;

[0070] User B: OK.

[0071] Analysis: The acquired voice signals show that the speaking states of both user A and user B are low-pitched, which refers to the state information of the speaker, which belongs to non-linguistic information, but does not belong to any of the drag information, hesitation information and delay information. One, therefore, the detection duration when the end point of speech is detected will be processed according to the second duration in step 203 .

example 3

[0072] Example 3. There is a speech pause in the speech signal. For example, the acquired text information corresponding to the speech signal is as follows.

[0073] User A: He drives (pause 200 milliseconds) up the hill; (turn-turn 1.3 seconds)

[0074] User B: Really? (Pause 150ms) How far?

[0075] Analysis: The acquired voice signal shows that user A pauses when he says "drive" and "up the mountain", and user B says "really" and "how far", which belongs to the delay information in non-linguistic feature information, so , the detection duration when the speech end endpoint is detected will be processed according to the first duration in step 203.

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a voice activity detection method and device. The method comprises the following steps of acquiring a speech signal input by a user, and converting the speechsignal into text information; determining a context type corresponding to the text information and / or non-linguistic feature information in the speech signal; determining detection duration accordingto the context type and / or the non-linguistic feature information; recognizing a corresponding pronunciation interval of each word in the text information in the speech signal, and using the end timepoint of a corresponding pronunciation interval of a first word in the speech signal as a first end point when the pronunciation interval of a second word is determined to be not included in the detection duration after the pronunciation interval of the first word in the text information; and using the first end point as a speech end point of a sentence where the first word is located in the speech signal when the semantic structure of the sentence where the first word is located is determined to be complete.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of speech detection, in particular to a method and device for detecting a speech end endpoint. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, people's work and life are applied to computers and networks almost every day. In order to serve work and life more conveniently and efficiently, speech recognition is widely used in various fields. For example, human-computer interactive Speech recognition, when people communicate with each other, record their conversations by voice recognition, or record their thoughts by voice anytime, anywhere, etc. This recognition method has gradually become Trends in the development of voice applications. The process of speech recognition mainly includes four steps, namely: speech signal collection, speech signal feature parameter extraction, acoustic model and pattern matching, language model and language processing. Wherein, when the ...
