  • Matching output volume to a command volume
    Patent number: 9830924
    Abstract: A speech recognition system that automatically sets the volume of output audio based on a sound intensity of a command spoken by a user to adjust the output volume. The system can compensate for variation in the intensity of the captured speech command based on the distance between the speaker and the audio capture device, the pitch of the spoken command and the acoustic profile of the system, and the relative intensity of ambient noise.
