Abstract

A geometrical display of speech spectra intended as an adjunct to lipreading was developed. Spectra were calculated at 5-ms intervals from speech sound pairs ambiguous to lipreaders. The spectra were displayed as sequences of irregular decagons. Human subjects were asked to discriminate between pairs of spectral decagon sequences derived from pairs of ambiguous speech sounds. Subjects were to discriminate between most of visual spectral patterns derived ambiguous sounds. However, spectral patterns associated with voiced/unvoiced contrast in some stop pairs were not discriminated consistently.
