A task dynamicmodel of skilledmovementsoriginally formulatedwith reference to limb tasks (Saltzman & Kelso, 1983a/in press) is extended to incorporate speech production. In the model, qualitative differences among tasks are captured by corresponding topological differences inthe dynamical structures of abstract task-space control regimes. These task - Dynamic regimes remain invariant throughout a given limb or speech gesture. Major levels of dynamical representation and associated coordinate transformations among these levels are introduced in a discussion of a planarreachingtaskfor a 3-joint limb. Extensions to speech production focuson bilabial movements duringtasks involving discrete closing and repetitive cyclic gestures. The discrete task shows how the model exhibits utterance-specific immediate compensationto jaw perturbations; the cyclic taskshows how continuous articulator trajectories may be generated that are useful for speech synthesis. Significantly, the task-dynamicmodel generates coordinatedarticulatory movements from the simple specification of abstract dynamic parameters, and requires neither explicit trajectory planning for unperturbed movements nor explicit error detection and replanning

  • WIKI on ACCESSIBILITY Completion Report March 2010
    WIKI ON ACCESSIBILITY Completion report March 2010 By Nirmita Narasimhan Programme Manager Centre for Internet and Society Project Title: Wiki on “Accessibility, Disability and the Internet in India” Page | 1 REPORT Accessibility wiki: accessibility.cis-india.org The wiki project was envisaged and funded by the National Internet Exchange of India (www.nixi.in) and has been executed by the Centre for Internet and Society (www.cis-india.org), Bangalore. Project Start date: May 2009 End date: February 2010. Background India has a large percentage of disabled persons in its population— estimated to be over seven per cent as per the Census of 2001. Even this figure is believed to be a gross under representation of the total number of disabled persons residing in this large and diverse country. Taken in figures, this amounts to roughly 70-100 million persons with disabilities in the territory of India. Out of this number, a mere two per cent residing in urban areas have access to information and assistive technologies which enable them to function in society and enhance their performance. There are several reasons for this, one of them being that there is a deplorable lack of awareness which exists on the kinds of disabilities and about ways in which one can provide information and services to disabled persons. Parents, teachers, government authorities and society at large are all equally unaware about the options which exist in technology today to enable persons with disabilities to carry on independent and productive lives. Barring a few exceptions, India is still trapped in an era where a white cane and a Braille slate symbolises the future for blind people, while the world has progressed to newer forms of enabling technology such as screen readers, daisy players, the Kindle and so on.

    Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA Vol. 92, pp. 9932-9937, October 1995 Colloquium Paper This paper was presented at a colloquium entitled "Human-Machine Communication by Voice," organized by Lawrence R. Rabiner, held by the National Academy of Sciences at The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, CA, February 8-9,1993. Models of speech synthesis ROLF CARLSON Department of Speech Communication and Music Acoustics, Royal Institute of Technology, S-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT The term "speech synthesis" has been used need large amounts of speech data. Models working close to for diverse technical approaches. In this paper, some of the the waveform are now typically making use of increased unit approaches used to generate synthetic speech in a text-to- sizes while still modeling prosody by rule. In the middle of the speech system are reviewed, and some of the basic motivations scale, "formant synthesis" is moving toward the articulatory for choosing one method over another are discussed. It is models by looking for "higher-level parameters" or to larger important to keep in mind, however, that speech synthesis prestored units. Articulatory synthesis, hampered by lack of models are needed not just for speech generation but to help data, still has some way to go but is yielding improved quality, us understand how speech is created, or even how articulation due mostly to advanced analysis-synthesis techniques. can explain language structure. General issues such as the synthesis of different voices, accents, and multiple languages Flexibility and Technical Dimensions are discussed as special challenges facing the speech synthesis community.
