The performance of the existing speech recognition systems degrades rapidly in the presence of background noise. The OSALPC (One-sided Autocorrelation Linear Predictive Coding) representation of the speech signal has shown to be attractive for speech recognition because of its simplicity and its high recognition performance with respect to the standard LPC in severe conditions of additive white...

This article concerns sound aesthetic preferences for European foreign languages. We investigated the phonetic-acoustic dimension of linguistic pleasure to describe “music” found in The Romance languages, French, Italian, and Spanish, take a lead when people talk about melodious language – music-like effects (a.k.a., phonetic chill).

We discuss the suitability of speech recognition for navigating within a window system and we describe Xspeak, an iinpleinentation of voice control for the X Window System. We made this interface available to a number of student programmers, ancl compared the use of speech and a pointer for window navigation through empirical and observational means. Our experience indicates that speech was att...

Objectives: One of the most effective methods to describe speech disorders is the measurement of speech intelligibility. The speech intelligibility indicates the extent of acoustic signals that correctly speaker produces and hearer receives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the speech intelligibility in the Persian children with Down syndrome, age range was 3 to 5 years, who had spo...

the aim of this paper is to report on an attempt to design and implement an intelligent system capable of generating the correct part of speech for a given sentence while the sentence is totally new to the system and not stored in any database available to the system. it follows the same steps a normal individual does to provide the correct parts of speech using a natural language processor. it...
