Voice Message Silence Compression

Intelligent voice smoother for silence-suppressed voice over Internet

For transporting voice data with silence suppression over the Internet, the problem of jitter introduced from the network often renders the speech unintelligible. It is thus essential to offer intramedia synchronization to remove jitter while retaining minimal playout delay. We have previously proposed a neural– network–based intra–voice synchronization mechanism, called Intelligent Voice Smoot...

Whistle Blowing: A Message to Leaders and Managers; Comment on “Cultures of Silence and Cultures of Voice: The Role of Whistleblowing in Healthcare Organizations”

This comment argues that instead of worrying about the pros and cons of whistleblowing one should focus on the more general problem of the failure of upward communication around safety and quality problems and consider what leaders and managers must do to stimulate subordinates to communicate and reward such communication. The article analyzes why safety failures occur and introduces the concep...

Message Compression for High Performance

Voice Detection using Speech Energy Maximization and Silence Feature Normalization

The estimation of noises is very important to remove noises from voices with background noises. This paper proposed a voice detection method using a silence feature normalization and voice energy maximize. In the high signal-to-noise ratio for the proposed method was used to maximize the characteristics receive less characterized the effects of noise by the voice energy. Cepstral feature distri...
