Arabic texts suffer from missing short vowels. Arabic Speech Recognition is not as good as English speech recognition due to the short vowels not being recognized. And the Arabic language is unlike the English languag...
Rhythm Formant Theory(RFT),a modulation-theoretic approach to the physical modelling of speech rhythm,is described and applied in an exploratory analysis of the rhetorical rhythms of read-aloud Mandarin Chinese transl...
This study was concerned with the short vowels in modern standard Arabic words with Consonant Vowel-Consonant Vowel-Consonant Vowel (CVCVCV) structure, and the long vowels in words with Consonant Vowel Vowel-Consonant...
This study describes the vowel system of EkeGusii(“Bantu E.42”)(Guthrie,1948)in an acoustic phonetics perspective using oral data got from purposively sampled subjects:four adult males,four adult females and four ch...

In order to improve the Mandarin vowel pronunciation quality assessment, a nox/el formant feature was proposed and applied to formant classification for Chinese Mandarin vowel pronunciation quality evaluation. Formant...
Feature parameters extraction is critical for speaker recognition research. The paper presents the function of pitch, formant and Mel frequency central coefficient (MFCC) in speaker recognition. It can increase the id...
