MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541125381 A) filed by Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation, Vaddeswaram, Andhra Pradesh, on Dec. 11, 2025, for 'system and method for automated processing of whistled languages.'
Inventor(s) include Kunaparaju V N Sita Mahalakshmi; and Dr. K. Samudravijaya.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides a computer-implemented system (001) for automated recognition and synthesis of whistled languages, including Silbo Gomero and other whistle-based communication systems. The system includes a linguistic preprocessing module (002), a forced-alignment module (003) for aligning whistled recordings (004) with linguistic labels, an acoustic feature-extraction module (005), a duration-prediction model (006), an acoustic-prediction model (007), and a whistle vocoder (008) configured to generate synthesized whistled output (009). A whistle-recognition subsystem (010) with decoding model (011) enables bidirectional whistle-to-text-to-whistle processing. The system operates effectively under low-resource conditions and provides accurate modeling of narrowband whistle acoustics. The invention enables long-distance low-bandwidth communication, supports linguistic preservation, and establishes the first integrated ASR-TTS pipeline for whistled languages."
