Methods and systems for speech presentation based on simulated binaural audio signals

Abstract:

An exemplary speech presentation system receives a simulated binaural audio signal merging together a plurality of concurrent speech instances originating from a plurality of different speakers speaking concurrently. The speech presentation system also receives acoustic propagation data representative of respective propagation effects applied, within the simulated binaural audio signal, to each of the concurrent speech instances to simulate propagation of the concurrent speech instances. Based on the acoustic propagation data, the speech presentation system extracts, from the simulated binaural audio signal, a different auto-transcribable speech signal for each of the plurality of concurrent speech instances. Additionally, based on the extracted auto-transcribable speech signals, the speech presentation system generates a different closed captioning dataset for each of the plurality of concurrent speech instances. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
