Abstract
Systems and methods for keyword voice activation in vehicles are provided. In one example, a system comprises one or more microphones, a voice monitoring device, and an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. The voice monitoring device can receive an acoustic signal from the microphones. A noise in the acoustic signal is reduced or suppressed to obtain a clean speech component. The ASR system may detect one or more keywords in the clean speech component and provide a command associated with the one or more keywords to vehicle systems. The system can associated a profile with the one or more keywords. The profile can include parameters specific to one operator or a group of operators. The parameters associated with the operator'"'"'s profile can be used in the noise suppression, identification of the operator, and/or detecting keywords in the clean speech component.
