This paper describes a new algorithm for automatically detecting creak in speech signals.
Detection is made by utilising two new acoustic parameters which are designed to …

Vocal fry (also called creak, creaky voice, and pulse register phonation) is a voice quality
that carries important linguistic or paralinguistic information, depending on the language. We …

This paper investigates the temporal excitation patterns of creaky voice. Creaky voice is a
voice quality frequently used as a phrase-boundary marker, but also as a means of …

Abstract Background/Aims: Creaky voice in American English plays both a prosodic role, as
a phrase-final marker, and a sociolinguistic one, but it is unclear how accurately naïve …

The goal of this study was to investigate the performance of different feature types for voice
quality classification using multiple classifiers. The study compared the COVAREP feature …

The use of a psychoacoustic roughness model as a predictor of creaky voice is reported. We
found that the roughness temporal profile of vocalic segments can predict the presence of …

Vocal fry is an aperiodic phonation that is naturally associated with low pitch production.
This study aims to examine whether vocal fry can affect people's perception of pitch range. A …

It is well known that the lowest tone in Mandarin, a language without contrastive phonation,
often co-occurs with laryngealization/creaky voice quality, and we provide evidence that this …

Objectives The aim of the present study is to investigate the usefulness of features extracted
from miniature accelerometers attached to speaker's tracheal wall below the glottis for …

Objectives Diplophonia is an often misinterpreted symptom of disordered voice, and needs
objectification. An audio signal processing algorithm for the detection of diplophonia is …
