Abstract
A system for distinguishing and identifying speech segments originating from speech of one or more relevant speakers in a predefined detection area. The system includes an optical system which outputs optical patterns, each representing audio signals as detected by the optical system in the area within a specific time frame; and a computer processor which receives each of the outputted optical patterns and analyses each respective optical pattern to provide information that enables identification of speech segments thereby, by identifying blank spaces in the optical pattern, which define beginning or ending of each respective speech segment.
