Abstract

Study on the acoustical characteristic is important to speech and speaker recognition in Chinese whispered speech. In this paper, the characteristics of whispered speech are introduced and the acoustical characteristics in Chinese whispered speech are discussed. There is no fundamental frequency in the whispered speech, so other characteristics such as the duration and frequency of formant are extracted and analyzed. From experiments with six simple Chinese whispered vowels, it is proved that the duration and the frequency of formant can be used as the main acoustical characteristics in the Chinese whispered recognition.
