background and aim: bilingualism is an important phenomenon with different effects on each aspect of language processing. auditory temporal processing is a major component of the auditory processing ability. since bilingual and monolingual individual’s brain process are different, and no studies have yet been conducted on the effect of temporal processing on speech recognition performance of az...

Storaging or transmission of speech signals at very low bit rate is a hot area in the field of speech processing. We used stochastic inter-frame interpolators and vector quantization (VQ) as a new method for developing a high quality 1200 BPS speech vocoder. The objective and subjecgtive test results show that performance of the new vocoder is compairable with 4800 BPS standard vocoders (as CELP).

speech emotion can add more information to speech in comparison to available textual information. however, it will also lead to some problems in speech recognition process. in a previous study, we depicted the substantial changes of speech parameters caused by speech emotion. therefore, in order to improve emotional speech recognition rate, in a first step, the effects of emotion on speech par...

objectives: one of the most effective methods to describe speech disorders is the measurement of speech intelligibility. the speech intelligibility indicates the extent of acoustic signals that correctly speaker produces and hearer receives. the purpose of this study was to investigate the speech intelligibility in the persian children with down syndrome, age range was 3 to 5 years, who had spo...
