A speech processing research platform for Android based smart phones and tablets

Abstract

This paper presents a new research and education platform for speech processing. The platform is called Speech Enhancement for Android (SEA) and incorporates past and present speech enhancement techniques applied to recorded speech corrupted by real world noise sources. Researchers, students and teaching staff can use this platform to perform speech enhancement and observe its effects on the linguistic content of speech. This paper outlines the speech processing strategies implemented in SEA along with discussing the benefits of this new interactive method to present speech processing theory and research.
