Engineers transmit more words through speech than through printed, film, or electronic media. Even though 15 to 30 percent of an engineer's day may be spent on writing, another 15 to 30 percent is generally spent in technical discussions of current work.

Machine Recognition of Spoken Words
1960Publisher Summary The mechanical recognition of speech sounds is a field in which computers are now being used. This chapter discusses the present state of speech recognition by machines. Speech recognition machines must work with the acoustic wave as input, and must therefore perform some or all of the processes normally the province of the human ...

After an interval of 2 weeks, the infants heard lists of words that either occurred frequently or did not occur in the stories.

Abstract At the outset it should be said that all microphone balancing is an art or a technique, not a science. It is impossible to lay down hard-and-fast rules. If you say something must always (or never) be done, the next day some combination of programme requirement/studio acoustic/equipment characteristic will prove that the only ...

The social weight of spoken words
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2015Speech serves a linguistic function, cueing sounds and words, and a social function, cueing talkers and their social attributes. Listeners readily map sound patterns in speech to social representations. This mapping introduces social biases on the recognition and encoding of sound patterns produced by different groups and individuals.
