The Scope of Speech Acoustics

1999
The function of speech communication is to convey information. At one level, the information is exchanged using words that a talker must structure and arrange in such a way that a listener can extract the intended information. At another level, information is conveyed about the talker’s attitude that may be communicated non linguistically (as in, for ...

Acoustic analysis and recognition of whispered speech

IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing, 2002
In this paper, the acoustic properties and recognition of whispered speech is discussed, A whispered speech database that consists of whispered speech, nonnal speech and their corresponding facial video images of more than 6,000 sentences from 100 speakers was prepared.

Acoustical Analysis of Speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1958
The objectives of acoustical analyses of speech are generally to obtain economical descriptions of the important characteristics of speech sounds, together with the distributions of these characteristics. The relevant acoustical properties cannot be determined and quantified easily without reference to data on the processes of speech production and ...

Acoustic characteristics of speech following uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

The Laryngoscope, 1989
AbstractSelective uvulopalatopharyngoplasty has resulted in the improved management of sleep apnea; however, the effect of the surgery on speech has not been systematically evaluated. In this study, the speaking fundamental frequency, reading rate, and first and second formants of the vowels of four patients were measured acoustically presurgically and

On processing speech and non-speech signals in acoustics

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999
In a nonspeech communication, the pitch, duration, formants arrangement, and other acoustic features are bearers of coded information. Certain meanings are assigned to them by convention. The processing of nonspeech signals, consists in distinguishing and, subsequently, interpreting them.

Speech Science: Acoustics in Speech, ed 2.

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1970
As defined by the author in his introduction, this book was written and intended for the beginning student in speech pathology and audiology. The text is divided into two parts with a total of eight chapters. Part one discusses "frequency and resonance" and part two the subjects of "time, intensity and quality." There are 59 references and a glossary.

Acoustic Analysis for Automatic Speech Recognition

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2013
As a pattern recognition application, automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires the extraction of useful features from its input signal, speech. To help determine relevance, human speech production and acoustic aspects of speech perception are reviewed, to identify acoustic elements likely to be most important for ASR.

Physiologie Acoustic Basis of Speech Perception

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1985
In the past, there has been a distinction between extraction of the auditory parameters of speech and a specialized phonetic speech processor. It was suggested that for the latter, exclusive specialized processing is required by the dominant hemisphere, while the former was handled by the general auditory system shared by both hemispheres.
