A comprehensive vowel space for whispered speech.
Whispered speech is a relatively common form of communications, used primarily to selectively exclude or include potential listeners from hearing a spoken message. Despite the everyday nature of whispering, and its undoubted usefulness in vocal communications, whispers have received relatively little research effort to date, apart from some studies analyzing the main whispered vowels and some q...
متن کاملText-to-Speech Synthesis for Whispered Speech
Whispering is a modality of speech that is defined as an unvoiced mode of phonation in which the vocal cords do not vibrate, but are adducted sufficiently to create audible turbulence as the speaker exhales during speech [1]. Whispered speech production is found in most world languages and is considered to be one of linguistic universals [2]. The social role of whispering is to communicate info...
متن کاملPerceived speech tempo and vowel space size
Since the seminal work of Lindblom (1963) a wealth of studies have investigated undershoot and the factors governing its occurrence and variability. However, although sex-specific differences in reduction patterns have been found in adults (Byrd 1994; Whiteside 1996), as well as in children (McCormack & Knighton 1996), possible sex-specific differences in formant transitions and in particular u...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Three-dimensional Cortical Map of Vowel Space
Mammalian cortex is known to contain various kinds of spatial encoding schemes for sensory information including retinotopic, somatosensory, and tonotopic maps. Tonotopic maps are especially interesting for human speech sound processing because they encode linguistically salient acoustic properties. In this study, we mapped the entire vowel space of a language (Turkish) onto cortical locations ...
متن کاملWhispered Speech Prosody Modeling for TTS Synthesis
This paper is devoted to modeling prosody of whispered Russian speech. The practical purpose of this research is to extend voice cloning techniques to whispered speech modality. The authors present their analysis of prosodic features that contribute to the expression of sentence type intonation in whispered speech. The current investigation includes intonation contours in complete and incomplet...
