ABSTRACT:
An apparatus operates to identify the speech signal of an unknown speaker as one of a finite number of speakers. Each speaker is modeled and recognized with any example of their speech. The input to the system is analog speech and the output is a list of scores that measure how similar the input speaker is to each of the speakers whose models are stored in the system. The system includes front end processing means which is responsive to the speech signal to provide digitized samples of the speech signal at an output which are stored in a memory. The stored digitized samples are then retrieved and divided into frames. The frames are processed to provide a series of speech parameters indicative of the nature of the speech content in each of the frames. The processor for producing the speech parameters is coupled to either a speaker modeling means, whereby a model for each speaker is provided and consequently stored, or a speaker recognition mode, whereby the speech parameters are again processed with current parameters and compared with the stored parameters during each speech frame. The comparison is accomplished over a predetermined number of frames whereby a favorable comparison is indicative of a known speaker for which a model is stored.
