| Abstract(in English) | In this report, a simple method of phoneme segmentation for detection of local speech rate variation is described. It is said that Japanese speech contains less variation of speech rate than other languages. Thus if there is a large variation of speech rate, such portion of speech may contain speaker's strong intention. The speech rate obtained with this method is expected to supply useful information to speech recognition system, recognition error correction system, or speech understanding system. In this report, we express speech rate variation by calculating the number of phoneme changes within a particular time a duration that is selected to easily express speaker's intention. Spontaneous speech data which may contain large amount of rate variation are recorded in real environment. The results of rate detection experiments for the recorded speech data are described. |
