Advancing Electromyographic Continuous Speech Recognition Signal Preprocessing and Modeling - Michael Wand Kartoniert (TB)

Speech is the natural medium of human communication but audible speech can be overheard by bystanders and excludes speech-disabled people. This work presents a speech recognizer based on surface electromyography where electric potentials of the facial muscles are captured by surface electrodes allowing speech to be processed nonacoustically. A system which was state-of-the-art at the beginning of this book is substantially improved in terms of accuracy flexibility and robustness.
