Hello all,
I am using Matlab R2023b and the Audio Toolbox. I would like to use the 'detectSpeech.m' function to find the boundaries of speech for a word recognition task.
I'm having difficulty getting the function to correctly capture the boundaries. Below is an example figure using the sentence "Say the word laud." The blue shaded area is the detected region of
speech. Note that it does not correctly detect the onset and offset of the sentence. The figure was generated using the default values of the function. I also tried manipulating the window duration, percent overlap, and merge duration but I was unable to improve
the detection.
Any recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Best,
Ian
