The aim of the work is to analyze Lombard speech effect in recordings and then modify the speech signal in order to obtain an increase in the improvement of objective speech quality indicators after mixing the useful signal with noise or with an interfering signal. The modifications made to the signal are based on the characteristics of the Lombard speech, and in particular on the effect of increasing the fundamental frequency...

W pracy przedstawiono problemy związane z wdrażaniem nowych technologii VoIP w sieciach telekomunikacyjnych, w szczególności firmowych. Opisano standardy usług typu VoIP (H.323, SIP). Scharakteryzowano strumienie przesyłane w systemach VoIP. Zaprezentowano dwa typy migracji do technologii VoIP: miękką i twardą. Wskazano na ważność pomiarów przy wdrażaniu systemów VoIP. Przedstawiono opis podstawowych metod pomiarowych dla usługi...

A voice communication system designed and implemented is described. The purpose of the presented platform was to enable a series of experiments related to the quality assessment of algorithms used in the coding and transmitting of speech. The system is equipped with tools for recording signals at each stage of processing, making it possible to subject them to subjective assessments by listening tests or, objective evaluation employing...

The primary aim of this paper is to present a new application which is at this moment the only open source real-time VoIP quality monitoring tool that supports IPv6 networks. The application can keep VoIP system administrators provided at any time with up-to-date voice quality information. Multiple quality scores that are automatically obtained throughout each call reflect influence of variable packet losses and delays on voice...

This work aims at modifying speech signal samples and test them with objective speech quality indicators after mixing the original signals with noise or with an interfering signal. Modifications that are applied to the signal are related to the Lombard speech characteristics, i.e., pitch shifting, utterance duration changes, vocal tract scaling, manipulation of formants. A set of words and sentences in Polish, recorded in silence,...
