Our proposed statistical voice conversion approach to enhancing various types of body-conducted speech detected with Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone is presented in this talk. NAM microphone, one of the body-conductive microphones [Nakajima et al., IEICE Trans. Inf. and Syst., E89-D, 1-8 (2006)], enables us to detect various types of body-conducted speech such as extremely soft whisper, normal speech, and so on. Moreover, it is robust against external noise due to its noise-proof structure. To make speech communication more universal by effectively using these properties of NAM microphone, body-conducted speech enhancement techniques have been developed with a state-of-the-art statistical voice conversion algorithm [Toda et al., IEEE Trans. ASLP, 15, 2222-2235 (2007)]. The proposed techniques would bring a new paradigm to human-to-human speech communication: e.g., the use of body-conducted voiced speech for noise robust speech communication, the use of body-conducted unvoiced speech for silent speech communication, and the use of body-conducted artificial speech for speaking aid [T Toda et al., Proc. ICASSP (2009) pp. 3601-3604]. This talk gives an overview of these promising techniques and presents their applications. [This research was supported in part by MIC SCOPE.]. |
