• An Enhanced Electrolarynx with Automatic Fundamental Frequency Control based on Statistical Prediction

  Kou Tanaka, Tomoki Toda, Graham Neubig, Sakriani Sakti, Satoshi Nakamura · 2015 · ASSETS '15: Proceedings of the 17th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility

  This demonstration paper presents a prototype system that enhances electrolarynx speech by automatically controlling pitch (fundamental frequency, or F0) using statistical prediction. An electrolarynx is a speaking aid device used by laryngectomees—people who have had their…

• Reconstruction of Phonated Speech from Whispers Using Formant-Derived Plausible Pitch Modulation

  Ian V. McLoughlin, Hamid Reza Sharifzadeh, Su Lim Tan, Jingjie Li, Yan Song · 2015 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper addresses a fundamental communication barrier for people who can only whisper due to voice impairments. While whispering is an occasional choice for most people, it is the primary—sometimes only—communication method for partial laryngectomees, those on prescribed…
