(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
This paper describes a voice conversion system designed withthe aim of improving the intelligibility and pleasantness of oe-sophageal voices. Two different systems have been built, oneto transform the spectral magnitude ...
The observation likelihood of silence: analysis and prospects for VAD applications
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
This paper shows a research on the behaviour of the observa-tion likelihoods generated by the central state of asilenceHMM(Hidden Markov Model) trained for Automatic Speech Recog-nition (ASR) using cepstral mean and variance ...
Listening to Laryngectomees: A study of Intelligibility and Self-reportedListening Effort of Spanish Oesophageal Speech
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
Oesophageal speakers face a multitude of challenges, such asdifficulty in basic everyday communication and inability to in-teract with digital voice assistants. We aim to quantify the diffi-culty involved in understanding ...
