3. The method in claim 1 , wherein generating in real time the estimate of voice activity comprises generating in real time a posterior distribution of voice activity by applying a Viterbi algorithm that has been modified to function in real time.
3. The method in claim 1 , wherein generating in real time the estimate of voice activity comprises generating in real time a posterior distribution of voice activity by applying a Viterbi algorithm that has been modified to function in real time. 4. The method in claim 3 , wherein the posterior distribution voice activity is estimated from an entire past history in real-time of a speech state given a latency.
