Speech is a vocalized form of human communication. Clarity of the voice is a major dependent factor for a good quality speech. It is necessary to have the means for measuring the clarity of the voice and train to improve it. In this paper, we describe the development of a system for measuring the speech quality through clarity of voice production. An Android system is built for the purpose wher...

The activation of listener's motor system during speech processing was first demonstrated by the enhancement of electromyographic tongue potentials as evoked by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over tongue motor cortex. This technique is, however, technically challenging and enables only a rather coarse measurement of this motor mirroring. Here, we applied TMS to listeners' ...
