The present invention allows subscribers to an online information service to participate in real-time conferencing or chat sessions in which a message originating from a subscriber in accordance with a first language is translated to one or more languages before it is broadcast to the other conference areas. Messages in a first language are translated automatically to one or more other languages through languages translation capabilities resident at online information service host computers. Access software that subscribers use for participating in conference is integrated with speech recognition and speech generation software such that a subscriber may speak the message he or she would like to share with other participants and may hear the messages from the other participants in the conference. Speech-to-speech translation may be accomplished as a message spoken into a computer microphone in accordance with a first language may be recited by a remote computer in accordance with a second language.

The invention provides a voice enhancement method. The method comprises the following steps of: judging whether the current frame has pure noise by using a judgment device; if the current frame has pure noise and a plurality of previous frames of the current frame have pure noise, improving frequency domain signals by using a voice enhancement algorithm of an improved spectral subtraction method, otherwise, improving the frequency domain signals by using an enhancement algorithm of a voice generating model; and transforming the processed frequency domain signals to a time domain, performing de-emphasis processing and acquiring output signals. The invention also provides a device using the method. The voice enhancement method greatly improves the attenuation of residual noise, and ensures the voice intelligibility.

Text-to-speech (TTS) generation is used in conjunction with large vocabulary speech recognition to say words selected by the speech recognition. The software for performing the large vocabulary speech recognition can share speech modeling data with the TTS software. TTS or recorded audio can be used to automatically say both recognized text and the names of recognized commands after their recognition. The TTS can automatically repeats text recognized by the speech recognition after each of a succession of end of utterance detections. A user can move a cursor back or forward in recognized text, and the TTS can speak one or more words at the cursor location after each such move. The speech recognition can be used to produces a choice list of possible recognition candidates and the TTS can be used to provide spoken output of one or more of the candidates on the choice list.

A method, computer program product, and system for answering a wireless telephone is provided. In one embodiment, the wireless telephone receives an incoming call and then determines whether the user has placed the phone in automatic call answering mode. If it is determined that automatic call answering has been selected by a user, then the phone answers the incoming call by providing the calling party with an indication that the user will take the call momentarily, such as by sending a voice message indicating that the user is busy but will take the call momentarily and instructing the calling party to not hang up. The phone also places itself into mute mode until the user has taken the incoming call to prevent the calling party from overhearing conversations that may be taking place around the user until the user has determined that it is convenient to take the phone call. In other embodiments, the wireless telephone allows the user to carry on conversations without speaking through selection of appropriate prerecorded or generated phrases.

A voice authentication system includes: a standard template storage part 17 in which a standard template that is generated from a registered voice of an authorized user and featured with a voice characteristic of the registered voice is stored preliminarily in a state of being associated with a personal ID of the authorized user; an identifier input part 15 that allows a user who intends to be authenticated to input a personal ID; a voice input part 11 that allows the user to input a voice; a standard template / registered voice selection part 16 that selects a standard template and a registered voice corresponding to the inputted identifier; a determination part 14 that refers to the selected standard template and determines whether or not the inputted voice is a voice of the authorized user him / herself and whether or not presentation-use information is to be outputted by referring to a predetermined determination reference; a presentation-use information extraction part 19 that extracts information regarding the registered voice of the authorized user corresponding to the inputted identifier; and a presentation-use information output part 18 that presents the presentation-use information to the user in the case where it is determined by the determination part that the presentation-use information is to be outputted to the user.
