Is Speech The Right Thing For Your Application?
Authors:
Niels Ole Bernsen, Odense University (Denmark)
Laila Dybkjær, Odense University (Denmark)
Page (NA) Paper number 62
Abstract:
Use of speech input to, and speech output from, computer systems is spreading at a growing pace. This means that, increasingly, developers of systems and interfaces are faced with the question of whether or not to use speech input and/or speech output for the applications they are about to build. This paper presents results from a pilot test of a theory-based approach to speech functionality. The test uses a corpus of claims about speech functionality derived from recent literature on speech and multimodality.

A PC-Based Tool for Helping in Diagnosis of Pathologic Voice

Page (NA) Paper number 558
Abstract:
We present a diagnosis tool for the voice clinic which runs on a personal computer. The application records different registers in real time. The signals to be captured and stored are the following: * Videoendoscopic images recorded with fibroscope or telelaringoscope. * Electroglottographic signal during fonation * Voice signal * Air flow signal All these different signals are recorded with specific transducers and standard digitalisation signal boards, using microphone input and input line simultaneously. Several systems to help in the diagnostic have been previously developed, but none of them captures the four mentioned signals simultaneously. All of them are highly interesting from the clinical point of view, and assist the expert in making the decision. The main advantage, related to other systems, is that looking at the videoendoscopic record, clinicians are able to label voice registers with the associated pathologies.

Web-Based Educational Tools for Speech Technology

Abstract:
This paper describes the efforts at KTH in creating educational tools for speech technology. The demand for such tools is increasing with the advent of speech as a medium for man-machine communication. The world wide web was chosen as our platform in order to increase the usability and accessibility of our computer exercises. The aim was to provide dedicated educational software instead of exercises based on complex research tools. Currently, the set of exercises comprises basic speech analysis, multi-modal speech synthesis and spoken dialogue systems. Students access web pages in which the exercises have been embedded as applets. This makes it possible to use them in a classroom setting, as well as from the students? home computers.

Abstract:
A set of freely available, universal speech tools is needed to accelerate progress in the speech technology. The CSLU Toolkit represents an effort to make core technology and fundamental infrastructure accessible, affordable and easy to use. The CSLU Toolkit has been under development for five years. This paper describes recent improvements, additions and uses of the CSLU Toolkit.

Creating a Mexican Spanish Version of the CSLU Toolkit

Abstract:
The CSLU Toolkit is designed to facilitate the rapid development of spoken dialogue systems for a wide variety of applications, as well as to provide a framework for conducting research in the underlying speech technologies. This paper describes the creation of a Mexican Spanish version of the CSLU Toolkit (both synthesis and recognition) undertaken at the Universidad de las Américas in Puebla, México. Based on the Festival Speech Synthesis System of the University of Edinburgh, we have developed a complete concatenative text-to-speech system for Mexican Spanish, which is currently incorporated into the toolkit and includes both a male and female voice. In the area of recognition, we have created a set of task-specific Spanish recognizers for continuous digits, spelled words, and yes/no phrases, as well as a "general-purpose" phonetic recognizer suitable for arbitrary sub-domains. Using the Rapid Application Developer (RAD) component of the CSLU Toolkit, it is now possible to quickly prototype spoken dialogue systems in Spanish. The Spanish components of the CSLU Toolkit are freely available for non-commercial use from the following web page: http://info.pue.udlap.mx/~sistemas/tlatoa.

A Voice User Interface Demonstration System for Mexican Spanish

Abstract:
We present a Mexican Spanish voice user interface demonstration system. It was built on a speech research platform developed at Bell Labs, which provides major speech technology and interface components, including automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, audio input/output functions and telephone interface. The application is written in the PERL script language with an embedded Voice Interface Language (VIL) that connects the speech and interface modules to PERL. Given the set of multilingual speech processing capabilities on the platform and the VIL, we were able to quickly develop a Mexican Spanish system using PERL with speech-enabled messaging and information access functionality similar to our English voice user interface demonstration system.
