Abstract

1,160,593. Speech recognition. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 15 Sept., 1966 [13 Oct., 1965], No. 41169/66. Heading G4R. [Also in Divisions H3 and H4] In a speech analysis system, gating of coded signals (representing speech characteristics) into a store is inhibited on detection of noise. A speech waveform from a microphone 1 is amplified at 3 and split into frequency bands at 60 to feed formant location means 129 and automatic gain control 66. The latter produces a signal in response to the largest of the frequency band amplitudes to control the gain of amplifier 3, feed noise clamp generator 90 and start multivibrator 160. The multivibrator 160 then drives a ring 199 to read the outputs of the formant location means 129 into a storage matrix 150. The multivibrator 160 is kept operating after the start signal from the automatic gain control 66 disappears by a signal on line 201 from ring 199. The noise clamp generator 90 differentiates the input from the automatic gain control 66 to detect noise. While noise is present, generator 90 inhibits multivibrator 160. A potentiometer 179 allows the frequency and width of the pulses from the multivibrator 160 to be controlled to compensate for differences between different speakers. The stages of the ring 199 have indicator lamps e.g. 243, as has the automatic gain control 66 at 73.
