Learning speech rate in speech recognition [PDF]
Interspeech 2015, 2015 A significant performance reduction is often observed in speech recognition when the rate of speech (ROS) is too low or too high. Most of present approaches to addressing the ROS variation focus on the change of speech signals in dynamic properties caused by ROS, and accordingly modify the dynamic model, e.g., the transition probabilities of the hidden

The Effect of Rate Control on Speech Rate and Intelligibility of Dysarthric Speech [PDF]
Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica, 2009 <i>Purpose:</i> This study investigated the effect of rate control methods (RCMs) on speaking rate (SR), articulation rate (AR), and intelligibility in dysarthric speakers. <i>Method:</i> Nineteen dysarthric patients (7 unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria, 6 hypokinetic, 3 flaccid, 3 ataxic) participated.

No Correlation Between Articulation Speed and Silent Reading Rate when Adults Read Short Texts
Psychologica Belgica, 2023 Silent reading often involves phonological encoding of the text in addition to orthographic processing. The nature of the phonological code is debated, however: Is it an abstract code or does it contain information about the pronunciation of the visual ...

Effects of presentation delivery rate on errors in simultaneous interpreting: A pilot study
Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2022 Although the success of information rendition in simultaneous interpreting (SI) is susceptible to many factors, the speed of the source speech (SS) is perceived as one of the most challenging problem triggers.

Robust Speech Rate Estimation for Spontaneous Speech [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, 2007 In this paper, we propose a direct method for speech rate estimation from acoustic features without requiring any automatic speech transcription. We compare various spectral and temporal signal analysis and smoothing strategies to better characterize the underlying syllable structure to derive speech rate.

Languages, 2023 The duration of inter-speaker pauses is a pragmatically salient aspect of conversation that is affected by linguistic and non-linguistic context. Theories of conversational turn-taking imply that, due to listener entrainment to the flow of syllables, a ...

Acceptability ratings of tracheoesophageal speech [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1988 AbstractThirty‐one naive listeners rated the intelligibility and acceptability of tracheoesophageal, esophageal, and normal laryngeal speech of 15 adult speakers. Intelligibility was measured using a multiple‐choice word test while acceptability was rated on a seven‐point equal‐appearing interval scale.
