✦ Synopsis

A speech analysis system based on temporal measurements of the waveform has been developed. The output of this system is a set of signals suitable for controlling a formant synthesizer. The analyser has been evaluated by coupling it to a synthesizer, and determining the intelligibility of spoken words after analysis and resynthesis. The results indicate that the system is superior to some systems based on frequency analysis.

Several methods of estimating speech synthesizer parameters (formant frequencies and amplitudes) have been evaluated. The technique employed was to analyse the speech waveform by means of a filter bank, and to store the resulting spectra in a computer. The parameters were estimated by program. They

A speech signal can be decomposed into the fundamental frequency and harmonics, and the autocorrelation function (ACF) is an e!ective tool for identifying the fundamental frequency and the harmonics. This paper, thus, explains how ACF harmonic analysis can be applied to speech detection and reconstr

We consider a multiple autoregressive model with non-normal error distributions, the latter being more prevalent in practice than the usually assumed normal distribution. Since the maximum likelihood equations have convergence problems (Puthenpura and Sinha, 1986) [11], we work out modified maximum
