Description

Voice endpoint detection method, device, terminal and storage medium
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a voice endpoint detection method, a voice endpoint detection device, a voice endpoint detection terminal and a storage medium.
Background
The conventional voice endpoint detection (VAD) algorithm mainly detects whether a sentence is finished according to indexes such as zero crossing rate and sound level. If the energy value of the speech of the previous part of the continuous preset number M0 frames in the acquired speech stream is lower than the energy value threshold Elow specified in advance, and the energy value of the speech of the next continuous M0 frames is larger than Elow, the starting end point of the speech is the place where the energy value of the speech is increased. Similarly, if the speech energy value of several consecutive frames is larger, the energy value of the subsequent speech frame becomes smaller, i.e. smaller than the energy threshold Ehigh specified in advance, and lasts for a certain period of time, it is considered that the end point of the speech is the place where the speech energy value is reduced.
However, the speaking speed of each person is different, some people are fast, and some people are slow. If the same VAD parameter threshold is used for all people in the voice endpoint detection process, some people may have a better voice recognition effect, and some people may be frequently and erroneously truncated, for example, some people with slow speech speed may not have spoken a sentence, and the sentence has been judged to be spoken based on the conventional VAD algorithm, thereby causing inaccurate voice recognition.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a voice endpoint detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the present embodiment is applicable to detecting a voice endpoint of a user in a voice-based human-computer interaction process, and the method may be executed by a voice endpoint detection apparatus, where the apparatus may be implemented in a software and/or hardware manner, and may be integrated on a terminal with a voice recognition function, such as an intelligent mobile terminal and a vehicle-mounted device.
As shown in fig. 1, the voice endpoint detection method provided in this embodiment may include:
s110, determining whether the difference between the current speech rate of the user and the historical average speech rate is in a preset difference range.
In the voice interaction process between the user and the terminal, the terminal can call a voice acquisition device, such as a microphone, to acquire the voice of the user in real time, recognize the voice of the user based on a voice recognition technology, and record the speed of the user in each interaction process. Based on the historical speech rates of the plurality of users, a historical average speech rate of the user may be determined. The historical average speech rate may reflect the user's speech rate level as a whole. By comparing the current speech rate with the historical average speech rate, whether the current speech rate of the user changes can be judged, and whether the speech energy threshold value needs to be adjusted in the speech endpoint detection process is further determined.
Optionally, the process of determining the historical average speech rate of the user includes:
counting historical voices of a user in a preset time period, and determining the corresponding time of a starting end point and an ending end point of the historical voices;
and determining the historical average speech rate of the user according to the text length of the recognition result of the historical speech and the corresponding time of the starting end point and the ending end point of the historical speech.
The text length of the speech recognition result refers to the number of language elements included in the user's speech. For example, for Chinese, the text length may refer to the number of Chinese characters included in the user's speech; for English, the text length may refer to the number of words included in the user's speech. According to the time t1 corresponding to the starting endpoint and the time t2 corresponding to the ending endpoint of each section of historical speech, the effective time t2-t1 of the section of historical speech can be determined, and further, the speech rate (t2-t1)/len or len/(t2-t1) of the user for outputting the section of historical speech can be determined by combining the text length len of the recognition result of the section of historical speech. And averaging the speech rates corresponding to all the historical speeches in a preset time period to obtain the historical average speech rate of the user in the preset time period.
The preset time period includes a voice statistic period closest to the current time, and the specific length of the preset time period may be adaptively set, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The historical average speech rate corresponding to the speech statistic period closest to the current time is selected as the speech rate reference for measuring whether the current speech rate of the user changes, the method has reference value for adjusting the speech energy threshold in the speech endpoint detection process, the necessity and the accuracy of adjusting the speech energy threshold can be ensured, and the accuracy of speech recognition is further ensured. The determination method of the current speech rate of the user is the same as the determination method of the historical speech rate of the user, and the detailed description is omitted here.
The specific value of the preset difference range is not limited in this embodiment, and may be adaptively set to any numerical range including a zero value according to the voice detection requirement. For example, when the preset difference range is set to 0, it is equivalent to determining whether to adjust the speech energy threshold according to the absolute difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate of the user; when the preset difference range is set to be a non-zero value range, for example, within 50 milliseconds, it is equivalent to determining whether to adjust the speech energy threshold according to the relative difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate of the user. Specifically, when the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate of the user is in a preset difference range, the current speech rate is considered to be the same as the historical average speech rate; and when the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate of the user is not within the preset difference range, the current speech rate is different from the historical average speech rate. Whether the voice energy threshold is adjusted or not is determined based on the relative difference, so that frequent adjustment of the voice energy threshold caused by slight fluctuation of the user speed can be avoided, and resource consumption of the terminal is reduced.
And S120, if the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate is not within the preset difference range, adjusting the speech energy threshold value of the speech endpoint detection according to the current speech rate, so that the speech ending endpoint of the user is determined according to the adjusted speech energy threshold value in the next speech endpoint detection process adjacent to the current speech endpoint detection.
The difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate of the user is not within the preset difference range, namely the current speech rate is different from the historical average speech rate, the current speech rate of the user changes, and the speech energy threshold value needs to be adjusted according to the current speech rate, so that the speech end point of the user is determined by using the adjusted speech energy threshold value in the next speech end point detection process, the self-adaptive dynamic adjustment of the speech energy threshold value of the same user under the condition of different speech rates is realized, and the adjusted speech energy threshold value is more suitable for the speaking characteristics of the user. For example, if the user has a fast speech rate, the speech energy threshold may be appropriately increased in the next speech endpoint detection process adjacent to the current time; if the speech rate is slow, the speech energy threshold value can be reduced in the next adjacent speech endpoint detection process. The determination of the user's speech rate each time is related to the comparison result of the current adjacent last user speech rate and the historical average speech rate, and as the user continues to interact with the terminal speech, the speech energy threshold value can gradually become stable along with the stability of the user's speech rate, and finally the speech energy threshold value most suitable for the user's speech endpoint detection is recurved.
For different users, due to the difference between the speech rate characteristics, the dynamic adjustment result of the speech energy threshold value in the speech endpoint detection process is different, so that the speech energy threshold values which accord with the speech rate characteristics of the users are respectively possessed for the different users, and the detection of the speech endpoint is not carried out on all the users by using the same speech energy threshold value as the prior art without distinguishing, so that the personalized detection of the speech endpoint for the different users is realized, and the accuracy of the speech recognition result for each user is improved.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, whether the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate of the user is in the preset difference range is judged, if the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate is not in the preset difference range, the speech energy threshold value in the next speech endpoint detection is adjusted according to the current speech rate, so that the self-adaptive dynamic adjustment of the speech energy threshold values for different users in the speech endpoint detection process is realized, the problem that the accuracy of a speech recognition result is reduced due to the fact that all people share one set of parameter threshold values in the existing speech endpoint detection method is solved, the personalized detection of speech ending endpoints for different users is realized, the phenomenon of mistaken truncation of the speech of the user in the speech recognition process is avoided, the integrity of the acquired speech information of the user is further ensured, and the accuracy of the speech recognition is improved; in addition, according to the scheme of the embodiment, the voice energy threshold is dynamically adjusted based on the change of the user speed, and compared with a mode of determining the user voice energy threshold based on model training, the method is easier to implement in the aspect of product implementation, does not relate to interaction with a remote server, consumes less power for a terminal, and is easier to popularize for a product with an accurate voice recognition function based on the scheme of the embodiment.
Example two
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a voice endpoint detection method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is further optimized based on the above-mentioned embodiments. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include:
s210, determining whether the difference between the current speech rate of the user and the historical average speech rate is in a preset difference range.
S220, if the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate is not within the preset difference range, in the next speech endpoint detection process adjacent to the current speech endpoint detection, extending the target duration based on the moment when the speech energy of the user starts to decrease, and taking the speech energy corresponding to the moment when the duration extension is finished as a speech energy threshold, wherein the target duration is a preset time length determined according to the current speech rate.
Whether the expression form of the user speech rate is the ratio (t2-t1)/len of the speech effective time length to the text length of the recognition result or the ratio (t2-t1) of the text length of the speech recognition result to the speech effective time length, the time when the user currently outputs a language element, for example, the time when the user currently speaks a Chinese character or the time when the user speaks an English word, can be determined according to the current speech rate of the user. In the next voice endpoint detection process, when it is detected that the voice energy starts to decrease, the timing extension may be performed according to the time for outputting one language element according to the current user, for example, the total time corresponding to a preset multiple of the time for outputting one language element by the user is taken as the target time length, and the preset multiple may be set according to the accuracy requirement or the sensitivity requirement of the voice endpoint detection. The preset multiple may be the same or different for different users.
For example, in the next voice endpoint detection process adjacent to the current voice endpoint detection, if the voice to be output by the user is "today is a fine day", after the user finishes speaking the "fine day", the voice energy starts to decrease, then the target time length is delayed based on the time corresponding to the time when the user finishes speaking the "fine day", for example, the target time length is 2 times of the time for outputting one chinese character determined according to the current speech rate of the user, and the voice energy corresponding to the time when the time length delay ends is the voice energy threshold in the next voice endpoint detection process. If a plurality of continuous frames of voice energy are larger than the voice energy threshold before the time length delay ending time, and a plurality of continuous frames of voice energy are smaller than the voice energy threshold after the time length delay ending time, the time length delay ending time is the next voice output ending endpoint of the user.
Equivalently, for users with faster speech speed, the speech energy threshold of the speech endpoint detection process can be determined within a shorter delay time; for users with slower speech speed, the speech energy threshold in the speech endpoint detection process needs to be determined in a relatively long delay time. Therefore, the phenomenon that a person with a slow speech speed is mistakenly identified by the terminal as the end of the speech output of the user when the person with the slow speech speed is not spoken in the speech endpoint detection process due to the fact that the same fixed speech energy threshold value or the same delay time is used for determining the speech energy threshold value by the users with the fast speech speed and the slow speech speed can be avoided, and when the speech information of the user collected by the terminal is lost, the speech recognition result is natural and inaccurate.
Optionally, the method further includes: and if the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate is in a preset difference range, namely the current speech rate of the user is considered to be the same as the historical average speech rate, determining the end point of the speech of the user in the next speech end point detection process according to the speech energy threshold used by the current speech end point detection. That is, when the current speech rate is not changed, the speech energy threshold value in the next speech endpoint detection process does not need to be adjusted.
In the technical scheme of the embodiment, when it is determined that the difference between the current speech rate and the historical average speech rate is not within the preset difference range, in the next voice endpoint detection process adjacent to the current voice endpoint detection, the target time length is prolonged based on the time when the voice energy of the user starts to reduce, the voice energy corresponding to the time length prolonging ending time is taken as the voice energy threshold value, the self-adaptive dynamic adjustment of the voice energy threshold value according to the voice speed of different users is realized, the problem that the accuracy of a voice recognition result is reduced because all people share one set of parameter threshold values in the existing voice endpoint detection method is solved, the personalized detection of the voice ending endpoints of different users is realized, and the phenomenon of mistaken truncation of the voice of the user in the voice recognition process is avoided, therefore, the integrity of the acquired user voice information is ensured, and the accuracy of voice recognition is improved.
