A PROJECT FOR,
THOSE WHO HAVE NO VOICE,
SO THEY CAN COMMUNICATE.
WHAT IS THE DeepRestore PROJECT ?
DeepRestore aims to research on the use of silent voice interfaces to restore communication in people deprived of the ability to speak. Silent voice interfaces are devices that capture non-acoustic biological signals generated during the process of voice production and use them to predict the intended message.
Though Silent – Speech -to-Text (SSI) interfaces have been primarily investigated in the context of speech recognition, this project focuses on direct speech synthesis techniques, thus directly generating the speech waveform corresponding to its output.
What biological signals are we going to investigate?
This project will investigate two types of biological signals:
