Techniques, Perception, and Applications of Time-Compressed Speech
نویسنده
چکیده
Time-compressed speech can be used in a variety of application areas including teaching, aids to the disabled, and human-computer interfaces. Studies have indicated that listening to teaching materials twice that have been speeded up by a factor of two is more effective than listening to them once at normal speed [Sti69]. Timecompressed speech has been used to speed up message presentation in voice mail systems [Hej90, Max80], and in aids for the blind. Speech can be slowed for learning languages, or for the hearing impaired. Time compression techniques have also been used in speech recognition systems to time normalize input utterances to a standard length [Mal79].

Objectives: Most of the studies performed on aging and auditory system have historically focused on speech perception disorders in elderly people. According to studies, speech discrimination disorders in aged people usually result from auditory temporal processing impairment. Our study was done to determine the ability of aged people to discriminate time compressed speech. Methods & Material...
متن کاملReliability of Interaural Time Difference-Based Localization Training in Elderly Individuals with Speech-in-Noise Perception Disorder
Background: Previous studies have shown that interaural-time-difference (ITD) training can improve localization ability. Surprisingly little is, however, known about localization training vis-à-vis speech perception in noise based on interaural time difference in the envelope (ITD ENV). We sought to investigate the reliability of an ITD ENV-based training program in speech-in-noise perception a...
متن کاملPerception-based partial encryption of compressed speech
Mobile multimedia applications, the focus of many forthcoming wireless services, increasingly demand low-power techniques implementing content protection and customer privacy. In this paper low complexity perception-based partial encryption schemes for speech are presented. Speech compressed by a widely-used speech coding algorithm, the ITU-T G.729 standard at 8 kb/s, is partitioned in two clas...
متن کاملEffects of ageing on speed and temporal resolution of speech stimuli in older adults
Background: According to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. In this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. Methods: A time-compressed speech test (TCST) w...
متن کاملEnvelope-based inter-aural time difference localization training to improve speech-in-noise perception in the elderly
Background: Many elderly individuals complain of difficulty in understanding speech in noise despite having normal hearing thresholds. According to previous studies, auditory training leads to improvement in speech-in-noise perception, but these studies did not consider the etiology, so their results cannot be generalized. The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of envelope-b...
