Abstract

Voice classification is important in creating more intelligent systems that help with student exams, identifying criminals, and security systems. The main aim of the research is to develop a system able to predicate and classify gender, age, and accent. So, a new system called Classifying Voice Gender, Age, and Accent (CVGAA) is proposed. Backpropagation and bagging algorithms are designed to improve voice recognition systems that incorporate sensory voice features such as rhythm-based features used to train the device to distinguish between the two gender categories. It has high precision compared to other algorithms used in this problem, as the adaptive backpropagation algorithm had an accuracy of 98% and the Bagging algorithm had an accuracy of 98.10% in the gender identification data. Bagging has the best accuracy among all algorithms, with 55.39% accuracy in the voice common dataset and age classification and accent accuracy in a speech accent of 78.94%.
