Theses and Dissertations
Vibration within the vocal tract during speech is transmitted through body tissue to the skin surface and can be used to transmit speech. Achieving quality speech signals using skin vibration is desirable but problematic, primarily due to the different sources of sound during speech. The objective of this study was to characterize the frequency content of speech signals at various locations on the head and neck. Signals were recorded using accelerometers attached to 15 locations on the heads and necks of 14 males and 10 females as well as a microphone to record audible speech. The subjects produced several isolated …
