Audio signals from microphones of a mobile device are received. Each audio signal is generated by a respective microphone of the microphones. First microphones are selected from among the microphones to generate a front audio signal. Second microphones are selected from among the microphones to generate a back audio signal. A first audio signal portion, which is determined based at least in part on the back audio signal, is removed from the front audio signal to generate a modified front audio signal. A second audio signal portion is removed from the modified front audio signal to generate a left-front audio signal. A third audio signal portion is removed from the modified front audio signal to generate a right-front audio signal.

A voice enhancing device amplifies and clarifies the voice of a user with hypophonia or other voice issues. The device includes a collar of either rigid or a soft material that is shaped to comfortably sit on the shoulders of the user. One or more microphone arrays are adjustably mounted to the collar to capture audio of the user talking. An electronics module enhances the captured audio signal and generates an enhanced audio signal that drives at least one speaker adjustably attached to the collar. The electronic controller implements one or more of an AGC amplifier to correct amplitude variation in spoked words, adaptive filtering to actively filter out background noise, a variable attack and decay function to improve intelligibility of the spoken words, a diphthong modification function to clarify the spoken words, and an echo cancelation function to reduce echo and feedback in the enhanced audio.

An audio capture device selects between multiple microphones to generate an output audio signal depending on detected conditions. The audio capture device determines whether one or more microphones are wet or dry and selects one or more audio signals from the one or more microphones depending on their respective conditions. The audio capture device generates a mono audio output signal or a stereo output signal depending on the respective conditions of the one or more microphones.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for display devices with transverse planar microphone arrays. In one embodiment, an example voice-activated device may include a housing, and a display assembly coupled to the housing, where a first vertical axis associated with the display assembly is at an acute angle relative to a second vertical axis associated with the housing. Example devices may include a number of microphone openings disposed in a front face of the display assembly, a speaker coupled to the housing and oriented to direct a portion of sound towards a rear portion of the device, and a fabric disposed over the housing, the fabric comprising an aperture disposed along the rear portion of the device.

An electronic device includes sensors configured to detect an orientation of a display, driver logic, and a speaker array. The driver logic processes the audio data received by an interface to form audio output data, and forms driver signals representing the audio output data based on the orientation of the display detected by the one or more sensors. The speaker array receives the driver signals formed orientation of the display, and renders the audio output data for playback based on the driver signals.

Digital audio signal processing techniques used to provide an acoustic transparency function in a pair of headphones. A number of transparency filters can be computed at once, using optimization techniques or using a closed form solution, that are based on multiple re-seatings of the headphones and that are as a result robust for a population of wearers. In another embodiment, a transparency hearing filter of a headphone is computed by an adaptive system that takes into consideration the changing acoustic to electrical path between an earpiece speaker and an interior microphone of that headphone while worn by a user. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
