Word Categorization of Vowel Durational Changes in Speech-Modulated Bone-Conducted Ultrasound

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2021
Ultrasound can deliver speech information when it is amplitude-modulated with speech and presented via bone conduction. This speech-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (SM-BCU) can also transmit prosodic information.

Reverberation impairs brainstem temporal representations of voiced vowel sounds: challenging periodicity-tagged segregation of competing speech in rooms

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
The auditory system typically processes information from concurrently active sound sources (e.g., two voices speaking at once), in the presence of multiple delayed, attenuated and distorted sound-wave reflections (reverberation).

Restoring Arabic vowels through omission-tolerant dictionary lookup [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Vowels in Arabic are optional orthographic symbols written as diacritics above or below letters. In Arabic texts, typically more than 97 percent of written words do not explicitly show any of the vowels they contain; that is to say, depending on the author, genre and field, less than 3 percent of words include any explicit vowel.

Vowel acoustics of Nungon child-directed speech, adult dyadic conversation, and foreigner-directed monologues

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
In many communities around the world, speech to infants (IDS) and small children (CDS) has increased mean pitch, increased pitch range, increased vowel duration, and vowel hyper-articulation when compared to speech directed to adults (ADS). Some of these

Detrending the Waveforms of Steady-State Vowels

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Steady-state vowels are vowels that are uttered with a momentarily fixed vocal tract configuration and with steady vibration of the vocal folds. In this steady-state, the vowel waveform appears as a quasi-periodic string of elementary units called pitch ...

Phonemes in continuous speech are better recognized in context than in isolation

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication, 2022
The contribution of context to phoneme perception is a subject of extensive study. In recent years, while the perception of phonemes in and out of context has become characterized as well-understood, new studies have emerged to challenge prevailing ...

Empirical Analysis of Oral and Nasal Vowels of Konkani [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Konkani is a highly nasalised language which makes it unique among Indo-Aryan languages. This work investigates the acoustic-phonetic properties of Konkani oral and nasal vowels. For this study, speech samples from six speakers (3 male and 3 female) were collected.

Auditory preattentive processing of Thai vowel change perception in consonant-vowel (CV) syllables [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2004
Event-related potential (ERP) responses to infrequently presented spoken deviant syllables /pi/ among repetitive standard /pc/ syllables were recorded in Thai subjects who ignored these stimuli while reading books of their choices.
