  • Visual perception of vowels from static and dynamic cues

    The purpose of the study was to analyse human identification of Polish vowels from static and dynamic durationally slowed visual cues. A total of 152 participants identified 6 Polish vowels produced by 4 speakers from static (still images) and dynamic (videos) cues. The results show that 59% of static vowels and 63% of dynamic vowels were successfully identified. There was a strong confusion between vowels within front, central,...

  • Visual Lip Contour Detection for the Purpose of Speech Recognition

    Publikacja

    A method for visual detection of lip contours in frontal recordings of speakers is described and evaluated. The purpose of the method is to facilitate speech recognition with visual features extracted from a mouth region. Different Active Appearance Models are employed for finding lips in video frames and for lip shape and texture statistical description. Search initialization procedure is proposed and error measure values are...

  • Improved method for real-time speech stretching

    Publikacja

    n algorithm for real-time speech stretching is presented. It was designed to modify input signal dependently on its content and on its relation with the historical input data. The proposed algorithm is a combination of speech signal analysis algorithms, i.e. voice, vowels/consonants, stuttering detection and SOLA (Synchronous-Overlap-and-Add) based speech stretching algorithm. This approach enables stretching input speech signal...

  • A non-uniform real-time speech time-scale stretching method

    Publikacja

    An algorithm for non-uniform real-time speech stretching is presented. It provides a combination of typical SOLA algorithm (Synchronous Overlap and Add ) with the vowels, consonants and silence detectors. Based on the information about the content and the estimated value of the rate of speech (ROS), the algorithm adapts the scaling factor value. The ability of real-time speech stretching and the resultant quality of voice were...

  • Methods of Improving Speech Intelligibility for Listeners with Hearing Resolution Deficit

    Methods developed for real-time time scale modification (TSM) of speech signal are presented. They are based onthe non-uniform, speech rate depended SOLA algorithm (Synchronous Overlap and Add). Influence of theproposed method on the intelligibility of speech was investigated for two separate groups of listeners, i.e. hearingimpaired children and elderly listeners. It was shown that for the speech with average rate equal to or...

  • A Method of Real-Time Non-uniform Speech Stretching

    Publikacja

    Developed method of real-time non-uniform speech stretching is presented.The proposed solution is based on the well-known SOLA algorithm(Synchronous Overlap and Add). Non-uniform time-scale modification isachieved by the adjustment of time scaling factor values in accordance with thesignal content. Dependently on the speech unit (vowels/consonants), instantaneousrate of speech (ROS), and speech signal presence, values of the scalingfactor...

  • A system for singing training

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2007

    The system proposed is aimed at the vocal students and persons who want to improve emission of their voices. The goal is not to substituite a singing teacher but to provide a tool for automatic teaching of voice emission basics. In this way singers can develop their vocal skills and improve them. By a visual feedback a student can control and modify vocal tract maximas (resonances) of a chosen vowel to match the resonances of the...

  • Comparison of various speech time-scale modificartion methods

    The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of the different time-scale modification (TSM) methods on the quality of the speech stretched up using the designed non-uniform real-time speech time-scale modification algorithm (NU-RTSM). The algorithm provides a combination of the typical TSM algorithm with the vowels, consonants, stutter, transients and silence detectors. Based on the information about the content and...

  • Improving the quality of speech in the conditions of noise and interference

    Publikacja

    The aim of the work is to present a method of intelligent modification of the speech signal with speech features expressed in noise, based on the Lombard effect. The recordings utilized sets of words and sentences as well as disturbing signals, i.e., pink noise and the so-called babble speech. Noise signal, calibrated to various levels at the speaker's ears, was played over two loudspeakers located 2 m away from the speaker. In...

  • ALOFON corpus

    The ALOFON corpus is one of the multimodal database of word recordings in English, available at http://www.modality-corpus.org/.  The ALOFON corpus is oriented towards the recording of the speech equivalence variants. For this purpose, a total of 7 people who are or speak English with native speaker fluency and a variety of Standard Southern British...
