  • Audio Search User Interface
    Publication number: 20200293574
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for indexing audio files comprising the steps of: i) for each audio file, collecting semantic descriptor of the audio file; ii) for each audio-file, generate perceptual information based upon audio content of the file; iii) based upon said perceptual information, generate perceptual descriptor in the form of string data for each audio-file; iv) for each file, create an index comprising both the semantic data and the perceptual descriptor.

  • Resolution enhancement of speech signals for speech synthesis
    Patent number: 10510358
    Abstract: An approach to speech synthesis uses two phases in which a relatively low quality waveform is computed, and that waveform is passed through an enhancement phase which generates the waveform that is ultimately used to produce the acoustic signal provided to the user. For example, the first phase and the second phase are each implemented using a separate artificial neural network. The two phases may be computationally preferable to using a direct approach to yield a synthesized waveform of comparable quality.
