How a Graphical Audio Development Tool Can Simplify Embedded Audio Product Creation

چکیده
Audio has become an important function in a variety of applications. For example, a typical car today has a music and entertainment system (CD player, traditional and/or satellite radio, MP3 player, DVD player), a navigation system, BlueTooth connectivity with the smartphone, and typical alert-related sounds that chime when, for instance, the headlights are left on or the trunk door is ajar. In an electric car, the vehicle might synthesize engine noises to alert nearby pedestrians. In fact, a car now typically boasts 10 to 15 different audio algorithms controlling each of these different sound-related functions. Moreover, sounds are not simply released in a vehicle; voice command and control functions, such as hands-free calling, mean that always-on, alwayslistening capabilities are needed to act on user-generated sounds.

A Semantic Web Annotation Tool for a Web-Based Audio Sequencer
Music and sound have a rich semantic structure which is so clear to the composer and the listener, but that remains mostly hidden to computing machinery. Nevertheless, in recent years, the introduction of software tools for music production have enabled new opportunities for migrating this knowledge from humans to machines. A new generation of these tools may exploit sound samples and semantic ...

متن کاملThe Effect of Gloss Type and Mode on Iranian EFL Learners’ Vocabulary Acquisition
Vocabulary is an important component of language proficiency which provides the basis for learners’ performance in other skills. But, since vocabulary learning seems to be so demanding, learners tend to forget newly-learnt words quite soon. In order to identify vocabulary learning conditions which can produce a more lasting effect, this study investigated the effect of three kinds of gloss cond...

This paper describes the design of a user-interface toolkit composed of sonically-enhanced widgets. Research has shown that the addition of sound can improve the usability of human-computer interfaces. However, sonically-enhanced widgets are difficult to create. The motivation for this work is the same as that which motivated the creation of graphical interface toolkits: To simplify their const...
