Abstract

In this paper, we used the voice samples recorded from laryngectomised patients to analyse temporal acoustic characteristics of distorted speech in New Zealand English. Jitter, shimmer, and voice onset time are the features which have been analysed in three post-laryngectomised individuals and the results have been compared with three normal speakers as control group. This acoustic analysis, although limited in size, shows significant differences between normal and distorted speech in all three features; such disparity should be carefully taken into account in improving the quality of recently developed computational speech reconstruction systems for aphonic and dysphonic individuals.
