GVC Emotion Recognition

In many GVC applications the first step of the process is emotion recognition: the user speaks for a few seconds, and the GVC Emotion Recognition algorithm measures hundreds of acoustic properties of the user’s voice and distills from these cues an assessment of the user’s emotional state.

What are the acoustic cues?

The acoustic cues that we measure are numerous: static and dynamic properties of pitch, intensity, resonances, dullness, sharpness, softness, tempo, and phrasing

...and more.

What is the immediate use of good emotion recognition?

An app that understands how you are currently feeling is capable of interacting with you in a much more natural and harmonious way than all those apps that stay ignorant of your mood. This has immediate consequences in Robotics.

What else can we expect from having good emotion recognition?

We can feed the results from our emotion recognition algorithm into algorithms that choose an appropriate feedback to the user. As GVC we are primarily interested in kinds of feedback that improve the user’s performance and quality of life.

Realization of the GVC Concept

Our applications realize our aim by:

  • Measuring the signals provided by the user’s voice, heart, lungs or other organs
  • Analyzing these signals for aspects of health, emotional state, or arousal
  • Providing dedicated personal feedback © Copyright, Neighbouring Rights and Trade Dress 2022: Good Vibrations Company B.V.

Apps and algorithms

The GVC Concept has been implemented in several demo apps. These employ a suite of proprietary algorithms that analyse many facets of the user’s speech, such as the GVC Emotion Recognition and GVC Voice Disorder Detection algorithms.

Real-time analysis and feedback

One of our typical demo apps interacts with the user as follows:

  • The user is asked to say a few seconds of speech.
  • An analysis of the user’s emotion is performed while the user is speaking
  • The app provides relevant individual feedback that improves the user’s emotional state

Tuning your Vibes

GVC has developed a Concept with a central theme: Tuning Your Vibes. One of our goals is to assess your state of mind by analyzing your voice. On the basis of this analysis we can make you aware of your personal state of anxiety, stress or other negative feelings. Via targeted feedback incorporated in the GVC system, your state of mind will be improved, and you will become more relaxed. In case the assessment shows positive emotions, the feedback may enhance these feelings.

Keep in balance - add quality of life - live longer in good health

It will be great to have a tool that influences your state of mind in a positive way, that reduces your stress and that brings or keeps you in balance.

Worldwide deployment

As the influence of emotions (or disorders) on the voice is largely independent of a person’s language, age, or sex, this analysis can be applied around the world, for any language and in any age group. This allows apps that employ a GVC analysis algorithm to immediately target any market in Europe, Asia, or any other continent.
