Abstract

All individuals are susceptible to experiencing stress in their everyday lives. Nevertheless, stress has a greater influence on femalesdue to both biological and environmental factors. This study utilizedfemale speeches to detect and classify stress and no stressin women.Using speech, composed of non-invasive and non-intrusive approaches, helps to identify stress better in females.A comparative analysis was conducted between Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and Teager Energy Operator-MFCCs (TEO-MFCCs) to determine the bestspeech feature for classifying emotions associated with stress and no-stress conditionsfor femalevoices.With the assistance of the Stress Speech Neural Network Architecture (SSNNA), an improved accuracy of 93.9% was achieved.Thisresearchshowed thatMFCCs enhanced higher-frequency components in stressed speech, distinguishing between stress and no-stress classes.This study shows that SSNNA achieved high accuracy with 14 female voices, confirming its ability to function independently of speaker identity
