Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010136722A1] The invention essentially relates to a method for detecting the presence of words in a voice signal (S), characterized in that it comprises: a step consisting in measuring, at the moment of analysis (ti), a phonemic alternation (Vi) in the voice signal (S) over a reference period (TRi); and, if no phonemic alternation is detected over the reference period (TRi), deducing that no words are pronounced in the voice signal (S) at the analysis moment (ti), otherwise deducing that words are pronounced in the voice signal (S) at the analysis moment (ti). The invention can be advantageously used for a karaoke-type game.
