| Abstract(in English) | Although almost all the animals have voices, only human beings are able to employ speech to make verbal communication. The vocal sound is produced by the relevant operations of the vocal organs such as a lung, trachea, vocal cords, vocal tract, tongue and muscles. If any part of the vocal organs is injured or disabled, we may be involved in the impediment in the vocalization and, in case of the worst, we may lose our voices. The paper presents a digital filtering algorithm which clarifies dysphonic speech with the speaker's individuality preserved. The study deals with the clarification of esophageal speech and the speech of patients with cerebral palsy, and the filtering ability is being evaluated by listening experiments. |
