Automatic speech analysis
First Claim
1. A system for providing automatic quality management regarding a level of conformity to a specific accent, comprising:
- a recording system;
a statistical model database with statistical models representing speech data of different levels of conformity to a specific accent;
a speech analysis system;
a quality management system;
wherein said recording system is adapted to record one or more samples of a speakers speech and provide it to said speech analysis system for analysis;
wherein said speech analysis system is adapted to provide a score of the speakers speech samples to said quality management system by analyzing said recorded speech samples relative to the statistical models in said statistical model database.

Abstract
A system for providing automatic quality management regarding a level of conformity to a specific accent, including, a recording system, a statistical model database with statistical models representing speech data of different levels of conformity to a specific accent, a speech analysis system, a quality management system. Wherein the recording system is adapted to record one or more samples of a speakers speech and provide it to the speech analysis system for analysis, and wherein the speech analysis system is adapted to provide a score of the speakers speech samples to the quality management system by analyzing the recorded speech samples relative to the statistical models in the statistical model database.

7. A method of providing automated feedback to a speaker regarding conformity of their accent to a specific accent, comprising:
-
recording one or more samples of the speakers speech;
producing a statistical model from said speech samples;
comparing said produced statistical model to previously prepared statistical models of speech samples with different levels of conformity to a specific accent;
determining the model that conforms the best to said produced statistical model and a level of conformity to the best conforming model; and
providing as feedback a score for said speech samples regarding its conformity to the specific accent based on said determining. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A method of automatic accent identification for quality management comprising:
-
creating one or more statistical accent models representing accents from one or more collections of training speech data;
inputting a speech signal for analysis;
preparing a statistical speech model representing the input speech signal;
comparing the statistical speech model with said one or more statistical accent models;
calculating a score resulting from the comparison of said statistical speech model with each statistical accent model;
determining a closest statistical accent model to said statistical speech model; and
providing the scores to a quality management system to provide feedback. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
