Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatuses for computer-generated visualization of speech are described herein. An example method of computer-generated visualization of speech including at least one segment includes: generating a graphical representation of an object corresponding to a segment of the speech; and displaying the graphical representation of the object on a screen of a computing device. Generating the graphical representation includes: representing a duration of the respective segment by a length of the object and representing intensity of the respective segment by a width of the object; and placing, in the graphical representation, a space between adjacent objects.
Claims22
A method of computer-generated visualization of speech including at least one segment, the method comprising:
- generating a graphical representation of an object corresponding to a segment of the speech based on a pronunciation of the segment of the speech, wherein generating the graphical representation comprises:
- representing a duration of the segment by a length of the object;
- representing intensity of the segment by a width of the object;
- and
- representing a pitch contour of the segment by an angle of inclination of the object with respect to a reference frame;
- displaying the graphical representation of the object on a screen of a computing device;
- generating a first visualization of a first set of objects of a plurality of segments of a first speech spoken by a user;
- and
- generating and displaying on the screen a second visualization of a second set of objects of the plurality of segments of a second speech spoken by the user, wherein the first set of objects or the second set of objects includes the object, wherein the first speech and the second speech are recorded at different times, and wherein the second visualization represents at least one discrepancy in the user vocalizing a same phrase spoken in the first speech and the second speech.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
- generating a graphical representation of an object corresponding to a segment of the speech, wherein the graphical representation is generated by:
- representing a duration of the segment by a length of the object;
- representing intensity of the segment by a width of the object;
- and
- representing a pitch contour of the segment by an angle of inclination of the object with respect to a reference frame;
- displaying the graphical representation of the object on a screen of a computing device;
- generating a first visualization of a first set of objects of a plurality of segments of a first speech spoken by a speaker;
- and
- generating and displaying on the screen a second visualization of a second set of objects of the plurality of segments of a second speech spoken by the speaker, wherein the first set of objects or the second set of objects includes the object, wherein the first speech and the second speech are recorded at different times, and wherein the second visualization represents at least one discrepancy in the speaker vocalizing a same phrase spoken in the first speech and the second speech.
