One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...

Auditory feedback is important in detecting and correcting errors during speech. The human brain detects differences between intended sounds and performed output and uses them to alter motor patterns so that proper sound production is eventually achieved[1]. Temporal asynchrony between speech production and its feedback such as delayed auditory feedback causes the speaker to speak less fluently...

Oronasal region, as an important organ of taste and smell, being respected for its impact on the resonace, which is crucial for any normal speech production. Different congenital, acquired and/or developmentalpdefect, may not only have impacts on the quality of respiration, phonation, resonance, also on the process of a normal speech. This article will enable readers to have more focus in such ...

Motor actions in speech production are both rapid and highly dexterous, even though speed and accuracy are often thought to conflict. Fitts’ law has served as a rigorous formulation of the fundamental speed-accuracy tradeoff in other domains of human motor action, but has not been directly examined with respect to speech production. This paper examines Fitts’ law in speech articulation kinemati...

Articulatory speech synthesis models the natural speech production process. As a speech synthesis method it is not among the best, when the quality of produced speech sounds is the main criterion. However, for studying speech production it is the most suitable method. This thesis reviews the literature on articulatory speech synthesis. The objective is to look at articulatory speech synthesis f...

Measuring formant frequencies in speech signals is indispensable for the search and technically problematic. Accurate measurement of formant frequencies is important in many studies of speech perception and production. Unfortunately, there is no totally effective method to allow good valuations of these frequencies. This paper presents a comparative study of two techniques of speech parameteriz...

PURPOSE This systematic review aimed to determine the effects of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention on speech production in children with autism or pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified. METHOD A systematic review methodology was utilized to limit bias in searching, selecting, coding, and synthesizing relevant treatment studies. This involved a mu...
