Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop an Online E-Voting system by speech detection. Online voting (e-voting) would be more convenient, relatively secure and utilize fewer resources. To be able to access e-voting system from a personal, business or even a public library computer may be more convenient for many people needing to vote. Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is a very important front end processing in all Speech and Audio processing applications. The performance of most if not all speech/audio processing methods is crucially dependent on the performance of Voice Activity Detection. An ideal voice activity detector needs to be independent from application area and noise condition and have the least parameter tuning in real applications. In this paper a nearly ideal VAD algorithm is proposed which is both easy-to-implement and noise robust, comparing to some previous methods. The proposed method uses short-term features such as Spectral Flatness (SF) and Short-term Energy. This helps the method to be appropriate for online processing tasks. The proposed method was evaluated on several speech corpora with additive noise and is compared with some of the most recent proposed algorithms. The ex-periments show satisfactory performance in various noise conditions.
