VD- Virtual Devices MELANIE  for speech

The increasing quantity of speech signals needs an effective and high quality means for the analysis of audio data. Obtaining support from an automated software tool is highly appreciated by operators working with the analysis of speech files. MELANIE supports the operator with:

• Automated analysis of incoming speech signals 
• A means for analysis of incoming speech signals using the results of the MELANIE classifiers.

What can be analyzed?

MELANIE provides a software library for the classification of incoming speech signals referring to:

• Speech Detection:
  The parts of audio signals containing speech are marked. For storing the incoming signals, only those parts containing speech may be stored.
  
  
• Language Identification:
  All incoming audio signals are classified according to the speech prevailing in the audio files. All languages of the world can be identified as soon as training material is available.
  
  
• Speaker Identification:
  Speakers in incoming audio signals can be identified. The algorithm is independent of the spoken language, thus a speaker can be found also when communicating in another language. Training material for the speaker to be analysed is necessary, a rejection of unknown speakers is made.
