Speech Aerodynamics Parameter Extraction Platform

Abstract:

The speech aerodynamics signal is one of the most important physiological signal in language research, plays an important role in human phonation process. Recently, there are a lot of equipment for speech aerodynamics signal research, mainly used in the field of medical research. But the supporting software can't satisfy the need of phonetics research. In this paper, according to the need of phonetics research, through the analysis of signal to KAYPENTAX speech aerodynamic devices, and used the MATLAB programming to establish the analysis platform to extracting parameters. The platform can read the NSP format file and output relevant parameters.
