VOICE QUALITY AND INDEXICAL INFORMATION
International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 1968ABSTRACTThe outline of a componential descriptive model of voice quality is suggested, in the hope of facilitating discussion about voice quality among phoneticians, linguists, speech therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Emphasis is laid on the function of voice quality as an index to biological, psychological and social characteristics of the ...

Menstrual Cycle and Voice Quality
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1979To the Editor .—In their article "Effect of the Menstrual Cycle on Voice Quality," which appeared in the January 1978Archives(104:7-10), Silverman and Zimmer came to the conclusion that "the data reported here do not support the contention that hoarseness is a feature of the premenstrual syndrome for the typical woman." Both the methods of ...

Annual Report of the Institute of Phonetics University of Copenhagen, 1975
Long-time~average-spectra recordings of normal voices as well as an average spectrum of such LTAS-registrations are shown and discussed. For comparisons of voice qualities we have tried to set up a new parameter, α, which is a measure of the intensity relations in the higher and the lower parts of the speech spectrum: α = intensity above 1000 Hz ...

2004 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2004
Voice morphing is a technique for modifying a source speaker's speech to sound as if it was spoken by some designated target speaker. Most of the recent approaches to voice morphing apply a linear transformation to the spectral envelope and pitch scaling to modify the prosody.

Controlled voice quality modifications
The International Journal of Speech, Language and the LawWithin-speaker variability, which results from the plasticity of speech production, is an inherent feature of speaker comparison. This study examines targeted modifications of voice quality, both phonatory and articulatory, in Czech. Fifteen speakers were instructed to read a text in 15 different versions (e.g.

This chapter considers the issues behind delivering an 'appropriate' level of voice quality by showing how design choices ultimately affect, and potentially limit, a customer's perception of VoIP quality. It concludes by describing some of the new signal processing techniques that are helping to measure and optimise the performance of VoIP solutions.
