ABSTRACT:
A method models voice units and produces reference segments for modeling voice units. The reference segments describe voice modules by characteristic vectors, the characteristic vectors being stored in the order in which they are found in a training voice signal. Alternative characteristic vectors are associated with each characteristic vector. The reference segments for describing the voice modules are combined during the modeling of larger voice units. In the event of identification, the respectively best adapted characteristic vector alternatives are used to determined the distance between a test utterance and the larger vocal units.
