Parental control based on speaker class verification
Restricting children access to materials unsuitable for them such as violence scenes is very important for parents. So there is a feature named Parental Control in devices such as televisions and computers to define the contents children can access. The parental control setting must be protected from children and is usually done by a password. In this paper, we propose a new method for distinguishing between adult users and child users based on human speech. In our proposed method, the user must say a word and the adult users are identified by processing the speech. Our current implementation has 92.5% accuracy for distinguishing adult users from children.
