Effects of the Rate of Formant-Frequency Variation on the Grouping of Formants in Speech Perception [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 2011
How speech is separated perceptually from other speech remains poorly understood. Recent research suggests that the ability of an extraneous formant to impair intelligibility depends on the modulation of its frequency, but not its amplitude, contour.

Unstressed Vowels in German Learner English: An Instrumental Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

An algorithm for formant tracking

open access: yesSignal 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.

Sex-specific fundamental and formant frequency patterns in a cross-sectional study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
An extensive developmental acoustic study of the speech patterns of children and adults was reported by Lee and colleagues [Lee et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 105, 1455-1468 (1999)].

Classification of Malaysian vowels using formant based features [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Voice clarification using active noise control and speech separation

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
Active noise control (ANC) is a technique used to reduce environmental noise in noisy places such as office or aircraft cabin. ANC reduces the overall input signal even when it has necessary information such as conversation as well as noise.

KARMA: Kalman-based autoregressive moving average modeling and inference for formant and antiformant tracking [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, vol. 132, pp. 1732-1746, 2012, 2011
Vocal tract resonance characteristics in acoustic speech signals are classically tracked using frame-by-frame point estimates of formant frequencies followed by candidate selection and smoothing using dynamic programming methods that minimize ad hoc cost functions.

Improving speaker de-identification with functional data analysis of f0 trajectories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Due to a constantly increasing amount of speech data that is stored in different types of databases, voice privacy has become a major concern. To respond to such concern, speech researchers have developed various methods for speaker de-identification.

Instrumental and Phonetic Analysis of Sung Vowels and the Orthoepy of Sung Lyrics of Popular Slovene “popevka” Songs

open access: yesMuzikološki Zbornik, 2016
The aim of this study is to present the use of phonetics in non-linguitic researches and sciences such as music and singing. Sung Lyrics of Slovenian songs/poetry have not been investigated phonetically, taking into consideration their quality (vowel ...
