Naive voice activity detection using short time energy

An important part of speech/speaker recognition tasks is distinction of voiced segments from silent ones. This helps -for example- align phonemes with their associated voiced segments and avoid any extra information related to silence/ noise that would degrade the system's accuracy. This problem is known as Voice Activity Detection (VAD). This blog aims to introduce voice activity detection and present simple short time energy based VAD implementation.
