A major drawback of corpus-based speech synthesis systems is the use of large acoustic inventories, and currently one of the main challenges is the optimal representation of concatenation costs associated with units in the acoustic inventory.

Learning speaker-specific pronunciations of disordered speech
One of the main clinical applications of speech technology is in voice-enabled assistive technology for people with disordered speech. Progress in this area is hampered by a sparseness in suitable data and recent research have focused on ways of ...

Effects of Spectral Distortion on Speech Intelligibility
Fine-structure cues play a role in understanding speech in fluctuating noise, but do not appear to be accessible to listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (Lorenzi et al., 2006).

Wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) and noise reduction both play important roles in hearing aids. WDRC provides level-dependent amplification so that the level of sound produced by the hearing aid falls between the hearing threshold and the highest ...

A Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Joint-Detection Based CDMA Speech Transceiver
A burst-by-burst adaptive speech transceiver is proposed, which can drop its source coding rate and speech quality under transceiver control in order to invoke a more error resilient modem mode amongst less favourable channel conditions.

On the effect of AMR and AMR-WB GSM compression on overlapped speech for forensic analysis
The recent ubiquity of mobile telephony has posed the challenge of forensic speech analysis on compressed speech content. Whilst existing research studies have investigated the effect of mobile speech compression on speaker and speech parameters, this ...

Effectiveness of computer-based auditory training in improving the perception of noise-vocoded speech [PDF]
Five experiments were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of “high-variability” lexical training in improving the ability of normal-hearing subjects to perceive noise-vocoded speech that had been spectrally shifted to simulate tonotopic misalignment ...
