“…Speech rate is defined as the number of phonemes uttered in a unit of time. The phonemes articulated in a given utterance are counted up, then this sum is divided by the number of seconds, omitting segments of silence (Woźniak, Soboń, 2015). The developed solution uses the detectSpeech command built into the Matlab environment.…”

The current reality is saturated with intelligent telecommunications solutions, and automatic speaker recognition systems are an integral part of many of them. They are widely used in sectors such as banking, telecommunications and forensics. The ease of performing automatic analysis and efficient extraction of the distinctive characteristics of the human voice makes it possible to identify, verify, as well as authorize the speaker under investigation. Currently, the vast majority of solutions in the field of speaker recognition systems are based on the distinctive features resulting from the structure of the speaker's vocal tract (laryngeal sound analysis), called physical features of the voice. Despite the high efficiency of such systems - oscillating at more than 95% - their further development is already very difficult, due to the fact that the possibilities of distinctive physical features have been exhausted. Further opportunities to increase the effectiveness of ASR systems based on physical features appear after additional consideration of the behavioral features of the speech signal in the system, which is the subject of this article.
