Hearing aid method by equalizing frequency response of phoneme which is extracted from human voice is proposed. One of the problems of the existing hearing aid is poor customization of the frequency response compensation. Frequency response characteristics are different by the person who need hearing aid. The proposed hearing aid is based on frequency response equalization by phoneme by phoneme...

This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method using phoneme con-nectivity and CCV conversion rules with probabilistic phrase break detection. The method consists of mainly four modules including phrase-break detection, morpheme normalization, morpheme to phoneme conversion and phoneme connectivity check. In the experiments with a test corpus of 210 sentences, we achieved 85% of p...

SUMMARY This paper describes a new presentation of continuous speech in terms of the probability of all phoneme types as a function of time. The presentation is called a phoneme probability presentation (PPP) and can be used for phoneme recognition of continuous speech. As a technique ,,0 produce the PPP, we have employed hidden Markov models (HMM) with time duration information. This informati...

This paper describes a novel correct phoneme sequence estimation method that uses a recurrent neural network (RNN)-based framework for spoken term detection (STD). In an automatic speech recognition (ASR)-based STD framework, ASR performance (word or subword error rate) affects STD performance. Therefore, it is important to reduce ASR errors to obtain good STD results. In this study, we use an ...

In 4 chronometric experiments, influences of spoken word planning on speech recognition were examined. Participants were shown pictures while hearing a tone or a spoken word presented shortly after picture onset. When a spoken word was presented, participants indicated whether it contained a prespecified phoneme. When the tone was presented, they indicated whether the picture name contained the...

This paper presents an experiment in speech recognition whereby multiple phoneme recognisers are applied to the same utterance. When these recognisers agree on an hypothesis for the same time interval, that hypothesis is assumed to be correct. When they are in disagreement, fine-grained phonetic features, called articulatory features, recognised from the same speech utterance are used to create...

To achieve high quality output speech synthesis systems, data-driven grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion is usually used to generate the phonetic transcription of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. To improve the performance of G2P conversion, this paper deals with the problem of conflicting phonemes, where an input grapheme can, in the same context, produce many possible output phonemes at the sa...
