Aiming
at the problem that traditional speech acquisition and recognition
are susceptible to environmental noise, this paper proposes a flexible
graphene sensor to detect vocal vibration signals. First, the speech
detection sensor with a cylindrical microsurface structure substrate
is prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and imprint technology,
which greatly improves the conformal coating cover ability and sensitivity
of the sensor. In the range of 200–2500 Hz, the average voltage
gain of the sensor is ∼48 dB, and this frequency range basically
covers the human speech frequency. On this basis, we conducted a bilingual
detection (Chinese and English). All data obtained shows that the
graphite speech sensor has sufficient sensitivity to extract the characteristics
of acoustic waves. At the same time, the proposed cylindrical microsurface
structure reduces the probability of random fracture of the graphene
layer. In addition, the speech signals collected by a microphone and
the flexible graphene speech detection sensor are used to train a
neural network. The recognition accuracy of the data set mixed with
vocal cord speech signals is 75.9%. The comparison verifies that the
signals detected by the sensor have sufficient characteristic information
to complete speech recognition tasks.
