Epoch extraction has become increasingly popular in recent years for speech analysis research because accurately detecting the location of the Epoch is crucial for analyzing speech signals. The Epoch, occurring at the instant of excitation in the vocal tract system, particularly during glottal closure, plays a significant role in differentiating speakers in multi-speaker conversations. However, the extraction of the Epoch poses a challenge due to the time-varying factors in the vocal tract system, which makes deconvolution for obtaining the original excitation location more complex. In this paper, various methods for Epoch extraction, including Zero Frequency Filtering (ZFF) and Zero Frequency Resonator (ZFR), will be discussed, and their pros and cons evaluated. In addition, the stability, accuracy, and feasibility of each method will be compared. The evaluation will involve a Matlab-based locking algorithm, and a proposed hardware implementation using Raspberry pi for speaker differentiation. The experiment includes six individuals uttering the phrase "The University of Mississippi," with one person acting as the reference or "lock" speaker. The number of epochs occurring at similar positions to the reference speaker will be counted as Delta, with larger Delta values indicating greater speaker similarity. Experimental results demonstrate that when the speaker remains the same, the average number of Delta is 7.5, while for different speakers, the average number of Delta decreases to 3, 2, 2, and 1, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately 73% in the number of epochs at similar positions compared to the reference speaker.
