Recently, there has been an increased attention towards innovating,
enhancing, building, and deploying applications of speech signal processing for
providing assistance and relief to human mankind from the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. Many AI with speech initiatives are taken to combat with
the present situation and also to create a safe and secure environment for the
future. This paper summarises all these efforts taken by the re-search
community towards helping the individuals and the society in the fight against
COVID-19 over the past 3-4 months using speech signal processing. We also
summarise the deep techniques used in this direction to come up with capable
solutions in a short span of time. This paper further gives an overview of the
contributions from non-speech modalities that may complement or serve as
inspiration for audio and speech analysis. In addition, we discuss our
observations with respect to solution usability, challenges, and the
significant technology achievements.

本文总结了近期研究社区使用语音信号处理技术开发应用程序来帮助应对 COVID-19 大流行的努力，包括用于解决该问题的人工智能技术，以及使用语音分析技术的深度技术，此外，还讨论了补充或为音频与语音分析提供启发的非语音形式的贡献。
