Q: How do you calculate SNR in Speech Quality Estimation?

…frequencies in the waveform of speech has Gamma distribution. In contrast, noise has Gaussian distribution. So we can estimate the SNR by looking at the frequency distribution in individual frames. This approach to SNR estimation is based on the article by Kim Chanwoo, and Richard M. Stern, called “Robust Signal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation Based on Waveform Amplitude Distribution Analysis”, Interspeech 2008….

Measuring of a software processing speed – what is the FtRT (Faster than Real Time)

…noise, technical signals like ringing, DTMF tones, etc). This metric is useful for finding performance on actual audio data coming into audio processing pipeline. Regular recording with Voice and Silence segments in waveform Net Speech based FtRT is conservative, purely technical number. It is calculated from only spoken speech data, i.e. with all non-speech parts (silence, noise, DTMF tones, etc.)…

Q: What to do with the ApplicationStartup: Unhandled exception: BsapiException error?

When running SPE, the following error occurs: [Error] ApplicationStartup: Unhandled exception: BsapiException: SWaveformSegmenterI(/mnt/phxspe/home/phx/storage/dfs/a1cabcf7-c761-49f1 -a9bc-0a8209a09fd9.opus Requested segment (78056, 102056) is out of waveform range (0,91840). A: It means that this opus file is created improperly and declares internally (in header) much more audio than available in real file. Please check your audio source/originator for proper functionality. Or use ffmpeg / sox…
