Voice Based Dating Application

Abstract

There is a plethora of information that our voices carry about ourselves, irrespective of the message transmitted. This information we have only recently started to investigate, and the results point to a strong link between our voices' resonance, pitch and our medical condition. Mental illnesses are also detectable through the use of vocal analysis and there is a lot to consider with regards to our subconscious response to vocal cues, as can be seen by the use of voice-assisted assistants. In this project however, we aim to examine the effects vocal characteristics have on human interaction. We have chosen to study this interaction through the lens of dating, a context in which both interlocutors have no prior knowledge of one another, they are not influenced by physical aspect and their purpose is to familiarize themselves with one another.
