Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for a voice command recognition system (VCR). An example embodiment operates by receiving a voice command directed to controlling a device, the voice command including a wake command and an action command. An amplitude of the wake command is determined. A gain adjustment for the voice command is calculated based on a comparison of the amplitude of the wake command to a target amplitude. An amplitude of the action command is adjusted based on the calculated gain adjustment for the voice command based on the comparison of the amplitude of the wake command to the target amplitude. A device command for controlling the device is identified based on the action command comprising the adjusted amplitude. The device command is provided to the device.

A speech processing apparatus applied in a communication device having a mechanical defect is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) unit, a multiplier and a processor. The AEC unit cancels an echo in a first audio signal from a microphone using a known AEC algorithm to generate a second audio signal. The multiplier multiplies corresponding M frames of a downlink audio signal by a gain to provide a gained downlink signal for a speaker. The processor performs operations comprising: muting an uplink audio signal when a first power level for M frames of a first input signal is less than a first threshold value; and, reducing the gain when the first power level and a second power level for M frames of a second input signal are respectively greater than the first threshold value and a second threshold value.
