Phonetics and Speech Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Is there a need to apply phonetics in speech technology development? How can phonetic thinking influence the quality of the final product (synthesised speech, speech recognition)? What happens if phonetic aspects are not used? What branches of phonetics are used, and what is to be used in speech technology? How phonetic thinking can be embedded into the development procedure of a speech technology product (the compromise between technical demands and acoustical quality)? What kind of phonetic research may be interesting for the forthcoming speech technology?

(what Is) the Contribution of Phonetics to Contemporary Speech Synthesis Research
Kurzfassung: Recent advances in speech technology have significantly reduced the necessity for traditional phonetic system components or phonetic expertise, e.g. rule-based prosody models. We therefore need to ask the question, whether and how phonetics ought to play a role in ongoing and future speech synthesis development. The answer can be derived directly from a global analysis of the weakn...

Speech recognition is the new emerging technology in the field of computer and artificial intelligence. It has changed the way we communicate with computer and other intelligent devices of same calibre like smart phones. It is a major area of interest for research in this field which is related to artificial intelligence. In this paper the overview of this technology and its current implementat...
متن کاملPhonetics: The Key to High Quality Speech Recognition and Synthesis
Linguistic knowledge has been maligned by speech recognition researchers in the past as being harmful to good performance. However an examination of the advances in speech recognition and speech synthesis shows that many of them were made by incorporating linguistic knowledge into the systems. The most useful type of knowledge is of a quantitative, rather that qualitative nature. This is precis...
متن کاملFlexible, Robust, and Efficient Human Speech Processing versus Present-day Speech Technology
Present-day speech technology systems try to perform equally well or preferably even better than humans under specific conditions. For more complex tasks machines frequently show degraded performance, because their flexibility, robustness and efficiency is lower than that of humans. In order to better understand the system limitations and perhaps further improve system performance, one can try ...
متن کاملSalient phonetic features of Indian languages in speech technology
Speech signal is the basic study and analysis material in speech technology as well phonetics. To form meaningful chunks of language, the speech signal should have dynamically varying spectral characteristics, sometimes varying within a stretch of a few milliseconds. Phonetics groups these temporally varying spectral chunks into abstract classes roughly called as allophones. Distribution of the...
