Speech recognition is the new emerging technology in the field of computer and artificial intelligence. It has changed the way we communicate with computer and other intelligent devices of same calibre like smart phones. It is a major area of interest for research in this field which is related to artificial intelligence. In this paper the overview of this technology and its current implementat...

Traditionally, perceptual judgement of speech disorders by clinicians has been a cornerstone of speech language pathology. Increasingly, it is being argued that acoustic speech analysis should supplement aural perception in the clinic. For successful clinical application of speech technology, experts in acoustic analysis generally agree that a working knowledge of acoustic phonetics, digital si...

Earlier research has suggested that left embedded words (e.g. cat in catalog) present a problem for spoken word recognition since it is potentially unclear whether there is a word boundary at the offset of cat. Models of spoken word recognition have incorporated processes of competition so that the identification of embedded words can be delayed until longer interpretations have been ruled out....

This paper elaborates on a computational model for speech recognition that is inspired by several interrelated strands of research in phonology, acoustic phonetics, speech perception, and neuroscience. The goals are twofold: (i) to explore frameworks for recognition that may provide a viable alternative to the current hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech recognition systems and (ii) to provid...

It could be said that Acoustics forms a bridge between speech production and speech perception, and as such it lies at the intersection of several speech communication related fields. The field of Speech and Hearing Sciences, for example, deals with speech production and speech perception. Speech Pathology also relates crucially to Acoustics. In addition, the linguistic fields of Phonetics and ...

The article deals with the essence of stress in methodical training system phonetics future teachers-philologists. Based on systemic, analytic-synthetic methods and competence approach concept «methodical phonetics» is defined, specific principles are designed article. study revealed that main components structure goals, content, methods, means, organizational forms educational process aimed to...

Measuring pitch is one of the most important but also most difficult tasks in experimental phonetics. It is interesting to study how the difficulties have been solved in the times before the computer was introduced in the phonetic laboratories. In this paper, this is discussed using a number of exhibits of the acoustic-phonetic collection of the Dresden University. There will be a small exhibit...

Is Mandarin Chinese a syllable-timed language? Based on auditory impression, traditional analyses say it is. However, this question has rarely been investigated from the perspective of acoustic phonetics. Following Ramus et al. (1999) and Grabe and Low (2002), we measured the four rhythmic correlates: vowel percentage, consonant standard deviation, rPVI and nPVI in passage readings and conversa...

This paper argues that significant research and teaching in experimental phonetics at UCL preceded the establishment of the laboratory in 1912 by almost a decade. The forgotten work of E. R. Edwards [1] combined descriptive and experimental approaches in a pioneering study of Japanese. Recently recovered artefacts, and a close reading of the early publications of Daniel Jones (DJ), reveal a sur...

A phonetically based approach to speech recognition uses speech specific knowledge obtained from phonotactics, phonology and acoustic phonetics to capture relevant phonetic information. Thus, a recognition system based on this approach can make broad classiflcations as well as detailed phonetic distinctions. This paper discusses a framework for developing a phonettcally based recognition system...
