A Phonetically Based Semivowel Recqgnition System
نویسنده
چکیده
A phonetically based approach to speech recognition uses speech specific knowledge obtained from phonotactics, phonology and acoustic phonetics to capture relevant phonetic information. Thus, a recognition system based on this approach can make broad classiflcations as well as detailed phonetic distinctions. This paper discusses a framework for developing a phonettcally based recognition system. The recognition task is the class of sounds known as the semivowels. The recognition results reported, though incomplete, are encouraging.

Production and perception of vietnamese short vowels in V1V2 context
The paper analyses the Vietnamese vowel-semivowel productions, including classical and shorter vowels in terms of the vowel duration in relation with the final semivowel duration, the formant transition duration, and the formant transition slopes. The results show that in the vowelsemivowel context, there is a relationship between the vowel duration and the final semivowel duration. Moreover, i...
متن کاملDeveloping Models of Lithuanian Speech Vowels and Semivowels
Lithuanian vowel and semivowel phoneme modelling framework is proposed. Using this framework, the phoneme signal is described as the output of a linear multiple-input and singleoutput (MISO) system. The MISO system is a parallel connection of single-input and single-output (SISO) systems whose input impulse amplitudes vary in time. Within this framework two synthesis methods are proposed: harmo...

A recognition system based on linguistic features was developed for the semivowels/w j r 1/ in American English. The features of interest are sonorant, syllabic, onsonantal, high, back, front, and retroflex. Acoustic correlates and events related to these features were used to detect and classify the semivowels. The recognizer was tested across semivowels occurring in a wide range of phonetic e...

Automatic speech recognition by computers can provide humans with the most convenient method to communicate with computers. Because the Chinese language is not alphabetic and input of Chinese characters into computers is very difficult, Mandarin speech recognition is very highly desired. Recently, high performance speech recognition systems have begun to emerge from research institutes. However...

An acoustic-phonetic featureand knowledge-based system for the automatic segmentation, broad categorization and fine phoneme recognition of continuous speech is described. The system uses an auditory-based front-end processing and incorporates new knowledge-based algorithms to automatically segments the speech into phoneme-like segments that are further categorized into 4 main categories: sonor...
