Abstract: Methods for voice sensing and keyword analysis are provided. An example method allows for causing a mobile device to transition to a second power mode, from a first power mode, in response to a first acoustic signal. The method includes authenticating a user based at least in part on a second acoustic signal. While authenticating the user, the second acoustic signal is compared to a spoken keyword. The spoken keyword is analyzed for authentication strength based on the length of the spoken keyword, quality of a series of phonemes used to represent the spoken keyword, and likelihood of the series of phonemes to be detected by a voice sensing. While receiving the first and second acoustic signals, a signal to noise ratio (SNR) is determined. The SNR is used to adjust sensitivity of a detection threshold of a voice sensing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a dynamic local automatic speech recognition (ASR) vocabulary are provided. An example method includes defining a user actionable screen content based on user interactions. At least a portion of the user actionable screen content is labeled. A local vocabulary associated with a local ASR engine is created based partially on the labeling. The local vocabulary includes words associated with functions of a mobile device and is limited by resources of the mobile device. The method includes determining whether speech includes a local key phrase or a cloud-based key phrase. Based on the determination, the method includes performing ASR on the speech using the local ASR engine or forwarding the speech to a cloud-based computing engine and performing ASR therewithin based on the cloud-based computing engine's larger vocabulary.

Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing level differences to attenuate noise and enhance speech are provided. In exemplary embodiments, energy estimates of acoustic signals, representing captured sound, are determined in order to determine a level difference. This level difference in combination with a noise estimate, based only on a primary acoustic signal, allow a filter estimate to be derived. In some embodiments, the derived filter estimate may be smoothed. The filter estimate is then applied to the acoustic signal from the primary acoustic signal to generate a speech estimate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing inter-microphone level differences to attenuate noise and enhance speech are provided. In exemplary embodiments, energy estimates of acoustic signals received by a primary microphone and a secondary microphone are determined in order to determine an inter-microphone level difference (ILD). This ILD in combination with a noise estimate based only on a primary microphone acoustic signal allow a filter estimate to be derived. In some embodiments, the derived filter estimate may be smoothed. The filter estimate is then applied to the acoustic signal from the primary microphone to generate a speech estimate.

Abstract: An audio processing system processes an audio signal that may come from one or more microphones. The audio processing system may use information from one or more non-acoustic sensors to improve a variety of system characteristics, including responsiveness and quality. Those audio processing systems that use spatial information, for example to separate multiple audio sources, are undesirably susceptible to changes in the relative position of any audio sources, the audio processing system itself, or any combination thereof. Using the non-acoustic sensor information may decrease this susceptibility advantageously in an audio processing system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing karaoke recording and playback on mobile devices are provided. The mobile device may play music audio and associated video, and receive via one or more microphones a mix of a user voice, the music, and background noise. The mix is stored both in its original form and as processed to enhance voice and sound through noise suppression and other processing. Stored audio may be uploaded through a communications network to a cloud based computing environment for listening on other mobile devices. Selectable playing control and recording options may be provided. Audio cues may be determined during signal processing of the original acoustic sound and be stored on the mobile device. During playback of recorded audio and, optionally, associated video, the original acoustic sound, recorded cues, and user selectable optional processing may be used to remix during playback, while retaining the original recording.
