Phoneme recognition for the hearing impaired
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an automatic speech recognition system designed to investigate the use of phoneme recognition as a hearing aid in telephone communication. The system was tested in two experiments. The first involved 19 normal hearing subjects with a simulated severe hearing impairment. The second involved 5 hearing impaired subjects. In both studies we used a procedure called Speech Tracking to measure the effective communication speed between two persons. A substantial improvement was found in both cases.

Allophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...

It has been hypothesized that the Finnish language is well suited to speech-to-text conversion for the communication aids of the hearing impaired. In a related study it was shown that, depending on context, 10 to 20 % of phoneme errors can be tolerated with good comprehension when reading text converted from raw phonemic recognition. Two sets of phoneme recognition experiments were carried out ...

In this study, recognition rates of consonants available in vowel-consonant-vowel structure in hearing tests and two microscopic models will be investigated. Such a syllable structure doesn’t exist in Farsi and Azerbaijani languages, but since the goal is only recognition of middle phoneme, according to hearing tests, listeners are able to properly recognize phonemes in clean speech conditions....
