Relationship between tongue positions and formant frequencies in female speakers.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016This study examined the relationship (1) between acoustic vowel space and the corresponding tongue kinematic vowel space and (2) between formant frequencies (F1 and F2) and tongue x-y coordinates for the same time sampling point.

Software for a cascade/parallel formant synthesizer
, 1980A software formant synthesizer is described that can generate synthetic speech using a laboratory digital computer. A flexible synthesizer configuration permits the synthesis of sonorants by either a cascade or parallel connection of digital resonators ...

The role of formant-frequency contours in the perceptual grouping of speech formants.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011The perceptual organization of speech remains poorly understood. Recent research using sine-wave speech suggests that the ability of an extraneous formant to impair intelligibility depends on modulation of its frequency contour [Roberts et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 128, 804–817].

The current study concerns speaking voice quality in two groups of professional voice users, teachers (n = 35) and actors (n = 36), representing trained and untrained voices. The voice quality of text reading at two intensity levels was acoustically analyzed. The central concept was the speaker's formant (SPF), related to the perceptual characteristics

Text to speech synthesizer-formant synthesis
International Conference on Nascent Technologies in Engineering, 2017In this paper, different methods of text to speech synthesizer techniques are discussed to produce intelligible and natural output and a vowel synthesizer using cascade formant technique is implemented.

Formant Estimation and Tracking Using Deep Learning
Interspeech, 2016Formant frequency estimation and tracking are among the most fundamental problems in speech processing. In the former task the input is a stationary speech segment such as the middle part of a vowel and the goal is to estimate the formant frequencies ...

A flexible formant synthesizer
[Proceedings] ICASSP 91: 1991 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1991The authors have modified Klatt's formant synthesizer and have implemented it in software. The user can configure the filter bank(s) by simple parameter specifications. This flexible formant synthesizer has been tested by synthesizing segments of sounds with a variable number of formant tracks and also with unsmooth and discontinuous formant tracks ...

Formant compensation for auditory feedback with English vowels.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015Past studies have shown that speakers spontaneously adjust their speech acoustics in response to their auditory feedback perturbed in real time. In the case of formant perturbation, the majority of studies have examined speaker's compensatory production ...

Formant-Based Robust Voice Activity Detection
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio Speech and Language Processing, 2015Voice activity detection (VAD) can be used to distinguish human speech from other sounds, and various applications can benefit from VAD-including speech coding and speech recognition.
