The use of multiple channels allows implementing speech enhancement algorithms based on spatial filtering (beamforming) and source separation.
In three experiments, we tested the hypothesis that children are more obliged than adults to fuse components of speech signals and asked whether the principle of harmonicity could explain the effect or whether it is, instead, due to children's implementing speech-based mechanisms.
This paper outlines a comprehensive model that has been developed and successfully implemented by speech and language therapists in the North East of England.
For our HMM training and synthesis, we followed the method explained in Section 5.1 and adapted the functions originally implemented for speech within the HMM-based speech synthesis system (HTS) to our procedure.
In the last decade, researchers and investors introduced spoken dialogue systems and tried to implement conversational speech recognition systems capable of recognizing and understanding spontaneous speech.
Gideon Meir, deputy director general of the Foreign Ministry, said any plan that would "reflect precisely the presidential vision will be an important tool to implement the speech" of June 24.
In our simulations, the VAD was not implemented, and the speech pause/activity regions were marked manually.
The purpose is also to use minimal changes in the standard speech recognition engines to implement a whispered speech recognition system.
To address the resilience of the model to speech compression, we produced compressed sentences by applying a pitch-synchronous, overlap and add (PSOLA) procedure implemented by PRAAT, a speech analysis and modification software (http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/).uva.nl/praat/
In contrast to existing approaches, this proposal, implemented in a G.729A speech codec, is presented as a superior choice in the aspect of search complexity and as a competitive candidate in terms of speech quality.
