Speech production by humans 2: The basics of phoneticsContent: Exercises on phonetic transcription, articulatory phonetics, the vowel space.¶

 ¶

Speech producrecognition by humans 2: The basics of phoneticsContent: Exercises on phonetic transcription, articulatory phonetics, the vowel space.¶  Content: The properties of human speech perception are described, e.g., critical bands, masking, categorical perception, perception of vowels and consonants, psycholinguistics. The lecture also describes the processing of speech in the brain, theories of language understanding and the structure of language. Literature: CST Ch 1.2.4, 1.3, 1.4 Lieberman P & Blumstein S. "Speech physiology, speech perception, and acoustic phonetics". Cambridge University Press. Cambridge. 1988. pp. 145-149, 152-161

Introduction to lab 2: Speech synthesis¶

Introduction to lab 2: Speech synthesis

Lab 2 has two parts: one deals with synthesis creation and the other with evaluation.¶

In the first part, you will build a very small diphone synthesizer:¶
