Abstract;This paper proposes a simple word spotting method for speech retrieval used for indexing and digesting for audio-visual contents. The proposed method retrieves desired words by using template-matching based on simple waveform features. Since the features can be computed with low computational costs, the proposed method executes the speech retrieval at high speed, which is actually 1/200 of the real-time speed. It is helpful in retrieving huge audio-visual database. Also experiments are performed by applying the proposed method to real audio signals, and the results are shown to verify its retrieval accuracy. (author abst.)
