  • Methods for a voice processing system
    Patent number: 11631415
    Abstract: Methods for a voice processing system comprising P microphone units (102A . . . 102D) and a central unit (104) are disclosed. Each microphone unit is linked to a person and derives from N microphone signals a source localisation signal. The source localisation signal is used to control an adaptive beam form process to obtain a beam formed audio signal. The microphone unit is further configured to derive metadata from for N microphone signals, such direction the sound is coming from. Packages with the metadata and beam formed audio signal are transmitted to the central unit. The central unit processes the metadata to determine which parts of the P beam formed audio signal comprises speech from a person that is linked to another microphone unit. By removing said parts from the audio signals before transcription, the quality of the transcription is improved. The transcriptions are displayed on a remote device.
