1. MOTIVATION • Human listeners are much better at recognizing speech in noise than automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems – Understanding why could directly improve ASR noise robustness • We utilize the recently introduced “auditory bubbles” technique to compare the cues used by humans and ASRs (Mandel, 2013; Mandel et al., 2014) 1. Measure the intelligibility to listeners of the same spee...

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 ...

Objectives: This study examined the relationship between working and short-term memory performance, and their effects on cochlear implant outcomes (speech perception and speech production) in cochlear implanted children aged 7-13 years. The study also compared the memory performance of cochlear implanted children with their normal hearing peers. Methods: Thirty-one cochlear impl...

in this research, we investigated the glottal wave of persian vowels, using electroglottography. in the first level, the properties of vowels glottal wave were analyzed. in the second level, the glottal wave between male and female speakers were  compared. contact quotient is the glottal wave parameter which was analyzed. data included six persian vowels and the glottal wave recorded using elec...

The purpose of this paper is to present clinical applications of delayed auditory feedback (DAF) in treating speech rate and fluency disorders in speakers with Parkinson’s disease. When used effectively with appropriate patients, DAF provides easily adjustable and often dramatic reductions in speech rate, which often leads to increased fluency. For optimal results, however, clinicians should pr...
