Generally speaking, the lecturers have a very large voice and a voice with a high vocal tone. In this study, we propose a new method to perform a vocal massage by placing a reflective cup on the mouth in order to make the hoarse voice normal. We learned about the sound characteristics of hoarse voices and suggested a way to cope with them. When applying the method of removing hoarseness after l...

The human voice is a critical social cue, and listeners are extremely sensitive to the voices in their environment. One of the most salient voices in a child's life is mother's voice: Infants discriminate their mother's voice from the first days of life, and this stimulus is associated with guiding emotional and social function during development. Little is known regarding the functional circui...

We investigated the early ("preattentive") cortical processing of voice information, using the so-called "mismatch response". This brain potential allows inferences to be made about the sensory short-term store. Most importantly, the mismatch potential also provides information about the organization of long-term memory traces in the auditory system. Such traces have reliably been reported for ...

The current study investigated the effect of familiarity with the voice and face of a talker on a subsequent speech intelligibility task. Participants were first familiarized with four animated characters that they learned to identify by voice, by face and by both face and voice. Ceiling level performance was reached. Following this training, participants were given a speech in noise identifica...

Voice is the essential medium of man's communication in social as well as professional interactions. The human voice also reflects the state of health in many medical conditions which leads voice alterations in patients. This paper presents a voice analysis approach for discriminating the People With Parkinson (PWP) on the basis of extracted voice parameters. Voice analysis basically deals...

Hanley, Smith, and Hadfield (1998) showed that when participants were asked to recognize famous people from hearing their voice, there was a relatively large number of trials in which the celebrity's voice was felt to be familiar but biographical information about the person could not be retrieved. When a face was found familiar, however, the celebrity's occupation was significantly more likely...

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...

The scientific bases for human-machine communication by voice are in the fields of psychology, linguistics, acoustics, signal processing, computer science, and integrated circuit technology. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the basic scientific and technological issues in human-machine communication by voice and to point out areas of future research opportunity. The discussion is organ...

Software-defined cognitive radios (CRs) use voice as a primary input/output (I/O) modality and are expected to have substantial computational resources capable of supporting advanced speechand audio-processing applications. This chapter extends previous work on speech applications (e.g., [1]) to cognitive services that enhance military mission capability by capitalizing on automatic processes, ...

The main idea of this research is to process analog voice signal. The paper is implemented for controlling the robot by voice command. The implemented system involves voice recognition unit, digital data processing unit with DC switching section. The proposed system consists of a microcontroller and a voice recognition processor that can recognize a limited number of voice patterns. This is voi...
