Stand-Alone Intelligent Voice Recognition System

Abstract

In this paper, an expert system for security based on biometric human features that can be obtained without any contact with the registering sensor is presented. These features are extracted from human's voice, so the system is called Voice Recognition System (VRS). The proposed system consists of a combination of three stages: signal pre-processing, features extraction by using Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) and features matching by using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The features vectors are formed after two steps: firstly, decomposing the speech signal at level 7 with Daubechies 20-tap (db20), secondly, the energy corresponding to each WPT node is calculated which collected to form a features vector. One hundred twenty eight features vector for each speaker was fed to the Feed Forward Back-propagation Neural Network (FFBPNN). The data used in this paper are drawn from the English Language Speech Database for Speaker Recognition (ELSDSR) database which composes of audio files for training and other files for testing. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated by using the test files. Our results showed that the rate of correct recognition of the proposed system is about 100% for training files and 95.7% for one testing file for each speaker from the ELSDSR database. The proposed method showed efficiency results were better than the well-known Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) and the Zak transform.

Voice Recognition Systems in the Cloud Networks

“…Artificial intelligence, known as natural language processing, involves analyzing data derived from natural language and converting it into a syntax that machines can understand. Voice recognition and artificial intelligence shed light on fundamental facets of natural language processing models, improving human language recognition's accuracy and scope (Saady et al, 2014).…”
