University of Dublin Trinity College Pitch - Mod Pitch Modeling and Modi cation GUI

This CSLL nal year project was undertaken in conjunction with the Trinity College laboratory of phonetics and speech synthesis under the supervision of Professor Ailbhe Ní Chasaide. Under the optic of the creation of a tool for the research and instruction of speech pitch, the project involved the design and implementation of an interactive graphical user interface known as PitchMod. This interface functions by modifying the pitch of a selected sample of recorded speech with values obtained from user input. Pitch-Mod is of great research value and its use in conjunction with speech training software is bene cial to second language learners, deaf persons acquiring spoken language and those su ering from speci c language impairments such as autistic persons.
