Repairing Tracheoesophageal Speech Duration
This paper describes an investigation into the repair of the prosodic limitations of tracheoesophageal (TE) speech. The proposed repair algorithm modifies TE phone durations based on the predictions of regression trees built from nonpathological data. Acoustic and language modelling refinements for improved TE phone recognition, studies of feature relevance for duration prediction and a robust ...
متن کاملThe cortical dynamics of intelligible speech.
An important and unresolved question is how the human brain processes speech for meaning after initial analyses in early auditory cortical regions. A variety of left-hemispheric areas have been identified that clearly support semantic processing, although a systematic analysis of directed interactions among these areas is lacking. We applied dynamic causal modeling of functional magnetic resona...
متن کاملArticulatory Aerodynamics, Contact Pressures and Sense of Effort During Tracheoesophageal Speech
Objectives: The purposes of this study were to: 1) describe sense of effort (SOE) associated with speech, oral air pressure (Po), articulatory contact pressure (ACP), and subneoglottal pressure (Psub) in tracheoesophageal (TE) speech, and 2) evaluate the relationships between these measures. The intent was to inform about articulatory alterations in TE speech with a future goal of guiding thera...
متن کاملStatistical synthesizer with embedded prosodic and spectral modifications to generate highly intelligible speech in noise
This paper describes a statistical parametric speech synthesizer that, despite having been trained on an ordinary synthesis database and without any adaptation data, is able to generate highly intelligible speech in noisy environments. By using a simple and flexible vocoder based on a harmonic model, it applies several noise-independent modifications to durations, pitch level and range, energy ...
متن کاملReconstructing intelligible audio speech from visual speech features
This work describes an investigation into the feasibility of producing intelligible audio speech from only visual speech features. The proposed method aims to estimate a spectral envelope from visual features which is then combined with an artificial excitation signal and used within a model of speech production to reconstruct an audio signal. Different combinations of audio and visual features...
