Voice recognition utilizing bone-conducted voice, which is very robust under noisy environment, has been investigated. The suitability for voice recognition and voice communication of bone-conducted voice recorded at several measurement points on human head was evaluated using LPC cepstrum distance (LCD) and Speech Transmission Index (STI). Experimental results show that forehead and cheek are good as the acquisition points of bone-conducted voice. In order to improve the quality of bone-conducted voice, a novel sensor, which has an inclined frequency response, was fabricated. Using the sensor, acquired bone-conducted voice has a similar frequency response as that of air-conducted voice. Spectral Subtraction is suggested as a method to improve the voice recognition ratio of bone-conducted voice.
