Unstressed Vowels in German Learner English: An Instrumental Study [PDF]
, 2014 This study investigates the production of vowels in unstressed syllables by advanced German learners of English in comparison with native speakers of Standard Southern British English. Two acoustic properties were measured: duration and formant structure.

A Formant Range Profile for Singers. [PDF]
Journal of Voice, 2017 Vowel selection is important in differentiating between singing styles. The timbre of the vocal instrument, which is related to its frequency spectrum, is governed by both the glottal sound source and the vowel choices made by singers. Consequently, the ability to modify the vowel space is a measure of how successfully a singer can maintain a desired ...

An algorithm for formant tracking
Signal Processing, 1984 Abstract A formant tracking algorithm than first forms strings of spectral peaks considering only the relative positions of the peaks and then assigns these strings to the formants according to the relative positions and lengths of the strings is presented. An example is also given.

Classification of Malaysian vowels using formant based features [PDF]
, 2008 Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has made great strides with the development of digital signal processing hardware and software, especially using English as the language of choice. Despite of all these advances, machines cannot match the performance of

Corner vowels in males and females ages 4 to 20 years: Fundamental and F1-F4 formant frequencies.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019 The purpose of this study was to determine the developmental trajectory of the four corner vowels' fundamental frequency (fo) and the first four formant frequencies (F1-F4), and to assess when speaker-sex differences emerge.

F0-induced formant measurement errors result in biased variabilities.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019 Many developmental studies attribute reduction of acoustic variability to increasing motor control. However, linear prediction-based formant measurements are known to be biased toward the nearest harmonic of F0, especially at high F0s.

Kalman tracking of linear predictor and harmonic noise models for noisy speech enhancement [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents a speech enhancement method based on the tracking and denoising of the formants of a linear prediction (LP) model of the spectral envelope of speech and the parameters of a harmonic noise model (HNM) of its excitation.
