Expressions of embarrassment and talking/asking to oneself include "naniyattakkena", "nantsuttakke", " wakannai", "dooshiyoo ", which mean "I cannot remember ", "I'm not sure ", "what should we do?" In utterances annotated as "diffidence", whispering often occurred at the end portion of the utterances (85% of the "diffidence" tokens).
However, in speech portions of the utterance, MSE further amplifies the magnitude spectrum, whereas in SFN the energy-related feature is kept nearly unchanged.
In 55% of the tokens whispering occurred over the whole utterance, while in 25% of the tokens, it occurred at the end portions of the utterances.
Short pauses in speech occurring within the duration of speech are detected by aligning the portion of an utterance annotated as speech, along with a small margin of silence at the start and end boundaries, using the word transcription and GMM-HMM baseline.
MSE aims to shrink the magnitude spectra in the silence portion of an utterance and to strengthen them in the speech portion.
The loads were designed to target either the consonant- or vowel-related portion of an utterance because these are the major sound categories in speech.
By assigning different weights to the magnitude spectra of speech and non-speech frames, the speech portions of an utterance are highlighted and the difference between the speech and non-speech portions in magnitude spectrum is strongly emphasized.
Some SGDs have multiple pages of symbols to accommodate a large number of utterances, and thus only a portion of the symbols available are visible at any one time, with the communicator navigating the various pages.
It heightens the sighing intensity of the utterance.
Then came a pause, then a repetition of the utterance, equally soft, and then what sounded like a responsive utterance.
