Reconstruction of Phonated Speech from Whispers Using Formant-Derived Plausible Pitch Modulation
This paper addresses a fundamental communication barrier for people who can only whisper due to voice impairments. While whispering is an occasional choice for most people, it is the primary—sometimes only—communication method for partial laryngectom…

An Enhanced Electrolarynx with Automatic Fundamental Frequency Control based on Statistical Prediction
This demonstration paper presents a prototype system that enhances electrolarynx speech by automatically controlling pitch (fundamental frequency, or F0) using statistical prediction. An electrolarynx is a speaking aid device used by laryngectomees—p…

Development of a Real-time Bionic Voice Generation System based on Statistical Excitation Prediction
This demonstration paper presents the first real-time implementation of the Pneumatic Bionic Voice (PBV) system, a voice prosthesis for people who have undergone laryngectomy — surgical removal of the larynx, typically due to advanced throat cancer. …
