LONDON, Dec. 27, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Quantech Electronics Corp. (Pink Sheets:QTCE), software developer for marketing communications, announced that it plans now an innovative development application for speech therapy based on the emotion detection project.
Speech usually reflects the emotional state of the subject. This state can be detected from speech and used for generating a wide range of responses such as verbal response or interacting with a computer. The concept is an advanced step toward high level man-machine interface. Early steps of an improved man-machine interface used graphics, audio and video, which made the PC useful for non-computer professionals
"Although voice processing has been studied for several decades, it is primarily in the past few years that the technology has matured sufficiently to leave the research laboratory and enter the real world for a wide range of applications," explains Liat Matilsky, CEO of Quantech.
These advances have been spurred by the rapid growth in computing capability provided by modern digital signal processing (DSP) chips, the sharp decrease in cost of computation and memory, and the increased emphasis on high-quality communication services.
The most widely used speech processing systems are speech coding, speech recognition, talker verification and speech synthesis. Although the literature on the acoustic correlates of human vocal emotion is sparse, it is possible to build an acoustic picture of the human voice while it is expressing various kinds of emotions. This information can be used to design software for identification of changes in emotion.
