Speech is an important mode of communication for people. For a long time, researchers have been working hard to develop conversational machines which will communicate with speech technology. Voice recognition is a part of a science called signal processing. Speech recognition is becoming more successful for providing user authentication. The process of user recognition is becoming more popular now a days for providing security by authenticating the users. With the rising importance of automated information processing and telecommunications, the usefulness of recognizing an individual from the features of user voice is increasing. In this paper, the three stages of speech recognition processing are defined as pre-processing, feature extraction and decoding. Speech comprehension has been significantly enhanced by using foreign languages. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) aims to translate text to speech. Speaker recognition is the method of recognizing an individual through his/her voice signals. The new speaker initially privileges identity for speaker authentication, and then the stated model is used for identification. The identity argument is approved when the match is above a predefined threshold. The speech used for these tasks may be either text-dependent or text-independent. The article uses Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFO) for accurate speech recognition through Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) model using DNN. Speech recognition efficiency is compared to that of the conventional system.

<p><span lang="EN-GB">In this paper, different feature extraction and feature normalization methods are investigated for speaker recognition. With a view to give a good representation of acoustic speech signals, Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients (PNCCs) and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) are employed for feature extraction. Then, to mitigate the effect of linear channel, Cepstral Mean-Variance Normalization (CMVN) and feature warping are utilized. The current paper investigates Text-independent speaker identification system by using 16 coefficients from both the MFCCs and PNCCs features. Eight different speakers are selected from the GRID-Audiovisual database with two females and six males. The speakers are modeled using the coupling between the Universal Background Model and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM-UBM) in order to get a fast scoring technique and better performance. The system shows 100% in terms of speaker identification accuracy. The results illustrated that PNCCs features have better performance compared to the MFCCs features to identify females compared to male speakers. Furthermore, feature wrapping reported better performance compared to the CMVN method. </span></p>

Recently, features and techniques from speech processing have started to gain increasing attention in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) community, in the context of vibration analysis. In particular, the Cepstral Coefficients (CCs) proved to be apt in discerning the response of a damaged structure with respect to a given undamaged baseline. Previous works relied on the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). This approach, while efficient and still very common in applications, such as speech and speaker recognition, has been followed by other more advanced and competitive techniques for the same aims. The Teager-Kaiser Energy Cepstral Coefficients (TECCs) is one of these alternatives. These features are very closely related to MFCCs, but provide interesting and useful additional values, such as e.g., improved robustness with respect to noise. The goal of this paper is to introduce the use of TECCs for damage detection purposes, by highlighting their competitiveness with closely related features. Promising results from both numerical and experimental data were obtained.

In this paper, authors propose an auditory feature extraction algorithm in order to improve the performance of the speaker recognition system in noisy environments. In this auditory feature extraction algorithm, the Gammachirp filter bank is adapted to simulate the auditory model of human cochlea. In addition, the following three techniques are applied: cube-root compression method, Relative Spectral Filtering Technique (RASTA), and Cepstral Mean and Variance Normalization algorithm (CMVN).Subsequently, based on the theory of Gaussian Mixes Model-Universal Background Model (GMM-UBM), the simulated experiment was conducted. The experimental results implied that speaker recognition systems with the new auditory feature has better robustness and recognition performance compared to Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC), Relative Spectral-Perceptual Linear Predictive (RASTA-PLP),Cochlear Filter Cepstral Coefficients (CFCC) and gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficeints (GFCC)

In this artificial intelligence time, speaker recognition is the most useful biometric recognition technique. Security is a big issue that needs careful attention because of every activities have been becoming automated and internet based. For security purpose, unique features of authorized user are highly needed. Voice is one of the wonderful unique biometric features. So, developing speaker recognition based on scientific research is the most concerned issue. Nowadays, criminal activities are increasing day to day in different clever way. So, every country should have strengthen forensic investigation using such technologies. The study was done by inspiration of contextualizing this concept for our country. In this study, text-independent Amharic language speaker recognition model was developed using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients to extract features from preprocessed speech signals and Artificial Neural Network to model the feature vector obtained from the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and to classify objects while testing. The researcher used 20 sampled speeches of 10 each speaker (total of 200 speech samples) for training and testing separately. By setting the number of hidden neurons to 15, 20, and 25, three different models have been developed and evaluated for accuracy. The fourth-generation high-level programming language and interactive environment MATLAB is used to conduct the overall study implementations. At the end, very promising findings have been obtained. The study achieved better performance than other related researches which used Vector Quantization and Gaussian Mixture Model modelling techniques. Implementable result could obtain for the future by increasing number of speakers and speech samples and including the four Amharic accents.
