  • Patent number: 10638221
    Abstract: Time interval sound alignment techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more inputs are received via interaction with a user interface that indicate that a first time interval in a first representation of sound data generated from a first sound signal corresponds to a second time interval in a second representation of sound data generated from a second sound signal. A stretch value is calculated based on an amount of time represented in the first and second time intervals, respectively. Aligned sound data is generated from the sound data for the first and second time intervals based on the calculated stretch value.

  • Patent number: 10249321
    Abstract: Sound rate modification techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an indication is received of an amount that a rate of output of sound data is to be modified. One or more sound rate rules are applied to the sound data that, along with the received indication, are usable to calculate different rates at which different portions of the sound data are to be modified, respectively. The sound data is then output such that the calculated rates are applied.

  • Patent number: 9451304
    Abstract: Sound feature priority alignment techniques are described. In one or more implementations, features of sound data are identified from a plurality of recordings. Values are calculated for frames of the sound data from the plurality of recordings. The values are based on similarity of the frames of the sound data from the plurality of recordings to each other, the similarity based on the identified features and a priority that is assigned based on the identified features of respective frames. The sound data from the plurality of recordings is then aligned based at least in part on the calculated values.

  • Patent number: 9355649
    Abstract: Sound alignment techniques that employ timing information are described. In one or more implementations, features and timing information of sound data generated from a first sound signal are identified and used to identify features of sound data generated from a second sound signal. The identified features may then be utilized to align portions of the sound data from the first and second sound signals to each other.

  • Patent number: 9201580
    Abstract: Sound alignment user interface techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is output having a first representation of sound data generated from a first sound signal and a second representation of sound data generated from a second sound signal. One or more inputs are received, via interaction with the user interface, that indicate that a first point in time in the first representation corresponds to a second point in time in the second representation. Aligned sound data is generated from the sound data from the first and second sound signals based at least in part on correspondence of the first point in time in the sound data generated from the first sound signal to the second point in time in the sound data generated from the second sound signal.

  • Patent number: 8775167
    Abstract: Noise robust template matching may be performed. First features of a first signal may be computed. Based at least on a portion of the first features, second features of a second signal may be computed. A new signal may be generated based on at least another portion of the first features and on at least a portion of the second features.
