Underwater Speech Examples

 

The following speech samples are recorded under water with microphones that were connected to swim googles. Here the idea was to used speech command such as "play", "stop", or "next/previos song" to control an MP3 player that is tipically weared on the backside of the head (kept to the head via the swim googles). The music signals are played either via waterproof headphones or bone-conduction loudspeakers (used in our case). Even a simple recognition scheme performed rather good for such "unusual" sounds.
