Original Abstract

This paper aims to classify speech signals according to their intensities into 3 groups (silent speech, normal speech and very loud speech). In this work, we have used a number of speech recordings, which were stored in a WAV format. These recordings are divided into groups with three different intensities, with each of them at three different distances from the point of entry (microphone). Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and k-Nearest Neighbor classifier based algorithm was tested and implemented in Matlab environment. The intensity classification accuracy achieved was about 85%.
