Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, system, and computer program product for speech summarization. A computer receives audio and video components from a video conference. The computer determines which participant is speaking based on comparing images of the participants with template images of speaking and non-speaking faces. The computer determines the voiceprint of the speaking participant by applying a Hidden Markov Model to a brief recording of the voice waveform of the participant and associates the determined voiceprint with the face of the speaking participant. The computer recognizes and transcribes the content of statements made by the speaker, determines the key points, and displays them over the face of the participant in the video conference.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to speech analysis, and more particularly to determining key points made by a speaker during a video conference. Background technique [0002] Videoconferencing is often used for business or personal purposes as an efficient and convenient method of communication that avoids the need to physically travel to one location for a face-to-face conversation. Video conferencing is becoming increasingly popular because a single video conference can simultaneously connect hundreds of people from anywhere on the planet to a real-time, face-to-face conversation. However, like any conversation, video conferencing can be hampered by language barriers, unintelligible accents, rapid speaking, or the occasional occasion when a participant in a multi-person meeting arrives late and misses what was previously discussed. Contents of the invention [0003] Embodiments of the invention disclose methods, systems and computer progra...
