Articulation Rate and Speech Rhythm in Child-Directed Speech and Adult-Directed Speech
Journal of Indian Speech Language & Hearing Association, 2022Introduction Studies have demonstrated that mothers exaggerate linguistic, segmental and supra-segmental properties of Child-Directed Speech. However, these studies have majorly focused on acoustic characteristics of pitch and its related measures. There has been relatively little research on speech rhythm.

Direct speech constructions in aphasic Dutch narratives [PDF]
Aphasiology, 2013 Background: Previous studies have shown that individuals with aphasia are usually able to produce direct reported speech constructions. So far these studies have mainly been conducted in English.

ICASSP '84. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1984
The speech direction finder described here is a relatively simple device based on an off the shelf microcomputer. It can provide the direction to a talker to within 3 degrees of azimuth angle on a single spoken syllable, will only respond to speech, and when used with Wallace linear array microphones can provide this at distances of 50 feet or more ...

Transformer-Based Direct Speech-To-Speech Translation with Transcoder
2021 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop (SLT), 2021Traditional speech translation systems use a cascade manner that concatenates speech recognition (ASR), machine translation (MT), and text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis to translate speech from one language to another language in a step-by-step manner. Unfortunately, since those components are trained separately, MT often struggles to handle ASR errors ...

Perceived liveliness and speech comprehensibility in aphasia: the effects of direct speech in auditory narratives [PDF]
International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders, 2014 Background: Previous studies have shown that in semi-spontaneous speech, individuals with Broca's and anomic aphasia produce relatively many direct speech constructions.

Constructing the Corpus of Infant-Directed Speech and Infant-Like Robot-Directed Speech
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction, 2015The characteristics of the spoken language used to address infants have been eagerly studied as a part of the language acquisition research. Because of the uncontrollability factor with regard to the infants, the features and roles of infant- directed speech were tried to be revealed by the comparison of speech directed toward infants and that toward ...

Function of infant-directed speech
Human Nature, 1999The relationship between a biological process and a behavioral trait indicates a proximate mechanism by which natural selection can act. In that context, examining an aspect of infant health is one method of investigating the adaptive significance of infant-directed speech (ID speech), and it could help to explain the widespread use of this ...

Emacspeak---direct speech access
Proceedings of the second annual ACM conference on Assistive technologies - Assets '96, 1996Emacspeak is a full-fledged speech output inter- face to Emacs, and is being used to provide direct speech access to a UNIX workstation. The kind of speech access provided by Emacspeak is qual- itatively different from what conventional screen- readers provide -emacspeak makes applications speak- as opposed to ...

AT&T Technical Journal, 1986
This paper presents an overview of the current activities in speech research. We will discuss the state of the art in speech coding, text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition, and speaker recognition. In the speech coding area, current algorithms perform well at bit rates down to 9.6 kb/s, and the research is directed at bringing the rate for high ...
