Abstract:
A speech aid system includes a tube for mounting at a tracheostomy of a user, a voice parameter acquiring device mounted to the tube and generating a voice parameter signal according to airflow applied within the tube resulting from attempt by the user to speak, a processor generating an audio signal corresponding to the voice parameter signal, and a sound generator for mounting in an oral cavity of the user. The sound generator produces a substitute glottal sound corresponding to the audio signal.
Abstract:
A speech recognition system is to be used on a human subject. The speech recognition system includes an image capturing device, an oral cavity detecting device and a speech recognition device. The image capturing device captures images of lips of the subject during a speech of the subject. The oral cavity detecting device detects contact with a tongue of the subject and distance from the tongue of the subject, and accordingly generates a contact signal and a distance signal. The speech recognition device processes the images of the lips and the contact and distance signals so as to obtain content of the speech of the subject.

Abstract:
A sunshade includes an outer tube, an inner tube, a control tube, an upper seat, a plurality of ribs, a canopy, and a plurality of spreaders. Thus, the control tube is movable downward relative to the outer tube to expand the canopy and movable upward relative to the outer tube to fold the canopy, so that the canopy is expanded and folded easily and quickly by operation of the control tube, thereby facilitating the user expanding and folding the canopy.
Abstract:
In a method of audio signal processing, a hearing aid system is configured to: collect sound information of a surrounding environment of the hearing aid system; capture an image of the surrounding environment of the hearing aid system; perform a directional signal processing operation on the sound information so as to generate an output audio signal; the output audio signal containing an extracted voice signal that comes from an area corresponding to a location of a target object in the image; and output the output audio signal.
