Spectrographic data are presented to exemplify effects of segmental reduction on utterance length, measured in terms of number of phonetic syllables per utterance. The speculation is put forward that segmental reorganization in ‘fast speech’ is partly constrained to preserve speaking rate, specified as number of phonetic syllables per unit time.

In earlier work, we have shown that articulation rate in Swedish child-directed speech (CDS) increases as a function of the age of the child, even when utterance length and differences in articulation rate between subjects are controlled for. In this paper we show on utterance level in spontaneous Swedish speech that i) for the youngest children, articulation rate in CDS is lower than in adult-...

In this paper, an algorithm performing automatic reconstruction of utterance boundaries time marks in speech database re-grabbed from DAT recorder is presented. Originally, the database was grabbed from DAT and, after down-sampling, processed at 16 kHz. Utterance boundaries were manually found, each utterance was stored to a separate file and orthographic and phonetic transcriptions were perfor...

Automatic speaker verification is susceptible to various manipulations and spoofing, such as text-to-speech synthesis, voice conversion, replay, tampering, adversarial attacks, so on. We consider a new spoofing scenario called "Partial Spoof" (PS) in which synthesized or transformed speech segments are embedded into bona fide utterance. While existing countermeasures (CMs) can detect fully spoo...
