Utterance intonation imaging using the cepstral analysis

Abstract

Speech intonation consists mainly of fundamental frequency, i.e. the frequency of vocal cord vibrations. Finding those frequency changes can be very useful — for instance, studying foreign languages where speech intonation is an inseparable part of a language (like grammar or vocabulary). In our work we present the cepstral algorithm for F0 finding as well as an application for facilitating utterance intonation learning.
