Speech Morphing Communication System
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- an automatic speech recognizer configured to receive a speech signal and to convert said speech signal into a text sequence;
a speech analyzer configured to receive said speech signal, said speech analyzer configured to extract paralinguistic characteristics from said speech signal;
a translator coupled with said automatic speech recognizer, said translator configured to convert said text sequence from a first language to a second language; and
a speech output device coupled with said automatic speech recognizer and said speech analyzer, said speech output device configured to convert said translated text sequence into an output speech signal based on said extracted paralinguistic characteristics.

Abstract
A communication system is described. The communication system including an automatic speech recognizer configured to receive a speech signal and to convert the speech signal into a text sequence. The communication also including a speech analyzer configured to receive the speech signal. The speech analyzer configured to extract paralinguistic characteristics from the speech signal. The communication system further includes a translator coupled with the automatic speech recognizer. The translator configured to convert the text sequence from a first language to a second language. In addition, the communication system includes a speech output device coupled with the automatic speech recognizer and the speech analyzer. The speech output device configured to convert the text sequence into an output speech signal based on the extracted paralinguistic characteristics.

18. A method for converting speech into text comprising:
-
receiving an input speech signal; extracting one or more paralinguistic characteristics from said input speech signal; converting said input speech signal to one or more text sequences; translating said text sequence from a first language to a second language; and transforming said text sequence into an output speech signal based on said extracted one or more paralinguistic characteristics from said input speech signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
