PY - 1993/09/01 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Handling false starts in recognition of spontaneous speech JF - Canadian Acoustics JA - Canadian Acoustics VL - 21 IS - 3 SE - Proceedings of the Acoustics Week in Canada DO - UR - https://jcaa.caa-aca.ca/index.php/jcaa/article/view/769 SP - 49-50 AB - The author discusses the acoustic analysis of restarts in spontaneous speech, from the point of view of their automatic location via acoustical analysis. A large database of spontaneous speech was analyzed in terms of duration and fundamental frequency measurements, as well as spectral analysis. For recognition purposes, a simple spectral analyzer was used to identify repeated words ER -
