To understand how hearing loss impacts people, researchers study people's ability to recognize speech, and hearing aid algorithms are often used to improve human speech recognition. Researchers ...

Speech recognition is a software invention that allows the user to interact with their mobile devices through speech. It is simply an application that enables a machine to single out words or phrases ...

Postdoctorate Viet Anh Trinh led a project within Strand 1 to develop a novel neural network architecture that can both recognize and generate speech. He has since moved on from iSAT to a role at ...

Human has various ways of exhibiting their emotion, which has placed them at the highest level of civilization among other creatures. These expressions can take the form of speech, facial, gestures, ...

Acoustic vocoders play a key role in simulating the speech information available to cochlear implant (CI) users. Traditionally, the intelligibility of vocoder CI simulations is assessed through speech ...

Neuroscientists were able to prove that speech recognition in humans begins in the sensory pathways from the ear to the cerebral cortex and not, as previously assumed, exclusively in the cerebral ...

“Clow-dia,” I say once. Twice. A third time. Defeated, I say the Americanized version of my name: “Claw-dee-ah.” Finally, Siri recognizes it. Having to adapt our way of speaking to interact with ...

Children’s speech presents unique challenges for ASR systems. Their smaller, growing vocal tracts lead to greater acoustic variability. On top of that, kids are still learning how to speak, making ...
