From 4dc6819079808e20c8607af2ec1b080c632c9b10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Whitestone Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:27:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20voice=20message=20distress=20analysis?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20paralinguistic=20features?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes #131 (Epic #102 — Multimodal Crisis Detection) Analyzes audio messages (OGG/MP3/WAV) for distress signals using paralinguistic features — no neural model needed, pure DSP. Signals detected: - Speech rate: very slow (<80 wpm) or very fast (>200 wpm) - Pitch variability: monotone voice (low F0 std = depression indicator) - Silence ratio: long pauses (>35% silence) - Volume: very quiet (<-30 dB) Implementation: - voice_analysis.py: Core module with analyze_voice_message() - Whisper integration for transcription + word timestamps - librosa for audio feature extraction (pitch, volume, silence) - Composite distress score (0-1) from max of individual signals - Thresholds: low (<0.3), medium (0.3-0.7), high (>0.7) 17 tests in tests/test_voice_analysis.py. --- tests/test_voice_analysis.py | 134 +++++++++++++ voice_analysis.py | 356 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 490 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/test_voice_analysis.py create mode 100644 voice_analysis.py diff --git a/tests/test_voice_analysis.py b/tests/test_voice_analysis.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1a267bc --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/test_voice_analysis.py @@ -0,0 +1,134 @@ +"""Tests for voice message distress analysis (#131).""" + +from __future__ import annotations + +import pytest + +from voice_analysis import ( + VoiceAnalysisResult, + compute_speech_rate, + compute_distress_score, + DISTRESS_THRESHOLDS, + NORMAL_SPEECH_RATE, + NORMAL_PITCH_VAR, +) + + +class TestDistressScore: + """Distress score computation from paralinguistic features.""" + + def test_normal_speech_no_distress(self): + score, signals = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=140, # normal + pitch_variability=50, # normal + silence_ratio=0.15, # normal + volume_db=-20, # normal + ) + assert score < 0.1 + assert not signals + + def test_slow_speech_detected(self): + score, signals = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=60, # very slow + pitch_variability=50, + silence_ratio=0.15, + volume_db=-20, + ) + assert score > 0.1 + assert any("slow" in s for s in signals) + + def test_monotone_detected(self): + score, signals = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=140, + pitch_variability=10, # very monotone + silence_ratio=0.15, + volume_db=-20, + ) + assert score > 0.1 + assert any("monotone" in s for s in signals) + + def test_long_pauses_detected(self): + score, signals = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=140, + pitch_variability=50, + silence_ratio=0.50, # very quiet + volume_db=-20, + ) + assert score > 0.1 + assert any("pause" in s for s in signals) + + def test_quiet_voice_detected(self): + score, signals = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=140, + pitch_variability=50, + silence_ratio=0.15, + volume_db=-45, # very quiet + ) + assert score > 0.1 + assert any("quiet" in s for s in signals) + + def test_multiple_signals_compound(self): + score, signals = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=50, # very slow + pitch_variability=5, # very monotone + silence_ratio=0.55, # long pauses + volume_db=-50, # very quiet + ) + assert score > 0.5 + assert len(signals) >= 3 + + def test_max_score_is_1(self): + score, _ = compute_distress_score( + speech_rate=0, + pitch_variability=0, + silence_ratio=1.0, + volume_db=-100, + ) + assert score <= 1.0 + + +class TestSpeechRate: + """Speech rate computation.""" + + def test_normal_rate(self): + # 100 words in 60 seconds = 100 wpm + segments = [{"start": 0.0, "end": 60.0, "text": "x"}] + wpm = compute_speech_rate("word " * 100, segments) + assert abs(wpm -
