    摘要: Systems and methods of screening for neurological and other diseases utilizing a subject's speech behavior are provided. According to one embodiment, a system is provided that includes an identification device used to determine a health state of a subject by receiving, as input to an interface of the device, one or more speech samples from the subject. The speech samples can be provided to the device by an intentional action of a user or passively due to the device being in the signal path of the subject's speech. The samples are communicated to a processor that identifies the acoustic measures of the samples and compares the acoustic measures of the samples with baseline acoustic measures stored in a memory of the device. The results of this determination can be communicated back to the subject or provided to a third party.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for analyzing speech are provided. A method and apparatus for determining an emotion state of a speaker are provided, including providing an acoustic space having one or more dimensions, where each dimension corresponds to at least one baseline acoustic characteristic; receiving an utterance of speech by the speaker; measuring one or more acoustic characteristics of the utterance; comparing each of the measured acoustic characteristics to a corresponding baseline acoustic characteristic; and determining an emotion state of the speaker based on the comparison. An embodiment involves determining the emotion state of the speaker within one day of receiving the subject utterance of speech. An embodiment involves determining the emotion state of the speaker, where the emotion state of the speaker includes at least one magnitude along a corresponding at least one of the one or more dimensions within the acoustic space.

    摘要: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an interface for receiving an utterance of speech and converting the utterance into a speech signal, such as digital representation including a waveform and/or spectrum; and a processor for dividing the speech signal into segments and detecting the emotional information from speech. The system is designed by comparing the speech segments to a baseline to identify the emotion or emotions from the suprasegmental information (i.e., paralinguistic information) in speech, wherein the baseline is determined from acoustic characteristics of a plurality of emotion categories. Other embodiments are disclosed.
