Acoustic comparison on syllabic rates between stress-timed and syllable-timed language speakers
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017Syllabic rates (i.e., phonation rate for each syllable) of a speaker provide us with a lot of interesting information about the language in question. Especially between syllable-timed language and stress-timed language, we may expect that speakers will show a gap in syllabic rates as they have their own ways to pronounce.

Treating Stuttering in a Preschool Child With Syllable Timed Speech: A Case Report
Behaviour Change, 2006AbstractIn this article we report the use of a simple, nonprogrammed, syllable timed speech procedure to treat stuttering in a 3-year-old boy with a 2-year history of stuttering. The treatment involved the boy and his parents visiting the clinic 7 times, and the parents modelling syllable timed speech 2 to 6 times per day for 5- to 10-minute intervals ...

Automatic Syllabification and Syllable Timing of Automatically Recognized Speech – for Czech
2016Our recent work was focused on automatic speech recognition (ASR) of spoken word archive documents [6, 7]. One of the important tasks was to structuralize the recognized document (to segment the document and to detect sentence boundaries). Prosodic features play significant role in the spoken document structuralization.

The effects of syllable-timed speech on stuttering behavior: An audiovisual analysis
Behavior Therapy, 1977The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a program of syllable-timed speech production on kernel and accessory features of stuttering. Five adult stutterers participated in a 1-month program of metronome conditioning. Videotapes were made to monitor changes in speech behavior. All stutterers demonstrated a reduction in stuttering and
