As the primary means of communication, voice plays an important role in daily life. Voice also conveys personal information such as social status, personal traits, and the emotional state of the speaker. Mechanically, voice production involves complex fluid-structure interaction within the glottis and its control by laryngeal muscle activation. An important goal of voice research is to establis...

10  Abstract—A good amount of work has been done in the field of compression, voice signal detection, and spectrum analysis which has been generated a number of results in the past few decades. In this research, following three important problems have been identified: 1. To distinguish between constitutional and unconstitutional Voice: It is an important task to identify authenticity of record...

The analysis of the human voice has arisen as an important area of study for its various applications in medical as well as engineering sciences. Voice analysis basically deals with extraction of some parameters from voice signal for processing of voice in desirable applicability by using suitable techniques. This paper states the certain common medical conditions which affect voice patterns of...

Plasticity of voice quality is defined here as the degree of improvement in deviant voice quality that can be achieved immediately or quasi-immediately by changing basic voicing conditions, posture, articulation or resonance, breathing mechanics, laryngeal position, or auditory feedback. Thirty-two adult patients with various benign organic voice pathologies, and who had a (preoperative) functi...

Speech technology has long been utilised to within computer-assisted tools for voice training. Such tools, providing real-time visual feedback of specific characteristics of the voice, complement traditional training methods. However, in order for such technology to be successful, specific aspects of voice training must be considered including the nature of voice perception, motor learning proc...

An AAL2 link transmission scheme is considered as a promising bandwidth-efficient voice/data transmission method in BS-BSC links of third generation radio access networks. To guarantee low delay requirement of voice traffic, voice delay restriction methods are introduced in the AAL2 link transmission scheme. That is, a timer is used in the loading of voice ATM cell payload for limiting cell pac...
