Abstract:

The nature of voice therapy has progressed since the 1930s when treatment for voice disorders was chiefly in the medical domain. The role of the speech-language-pathologist (SLP) in the treatment of voice disorders has evolved steadily over the years with advances in diagnosis and the growing base of evidence in the literature with respect to treatment. The speech-language pathologist is now an important part of the treatment team that includes the otolaryngologist, singing teacher, vocal coach, and other allied health professionals. This team approach has improved patient care with a greater focus on the individual that goes beyond the disorder. In this article, we will provide a brief history of the evolution of voice therapy that encompasses the past and present, as well as providing directions for the future.

Abstract:

Background Usability problems in the electronic health record (EHR) lead to workflow inefficiencies when navigating charts and entering or retrieving data using standard keyboard and mouse interfaces. Voice input technology has been used to overcome some of the challenges associated with conventional interfaces and continues to evolve as a promising way to interact with the EHR. Objective This article reviews the literature and evidence on voice input technology used to facilitate work in the EHR. It also reviews the benefits and challenges of implementation and use of voice technologies, and discusses emerging opportunities with voice assistant technology. Methods We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify articles that discuss the use of voice technology to facilitate health care work. We searched MEDLINE and the Google search engine to identify relevant articles. We evaluated articles that discussed the strengths and limitations of voice technology to facilitate health care work. Consumer articles from leading technology publications addressing emerging use of voice assistants were reviewed to ascertain functionalities in existing consumer applications. Results Using a MEDLINE search, we identified 683 articles that were reviewed for inclusion eligibility. The references of included articles were also reviewed. Sixty-one papers that discussed the use of voice tools in health care were included, of which 32 detailed the use of voice technologies in production environments. Articles were organized into three domains: Voice for (1) documentation, (2) commands, and (3) interactive response and navigation for patients. Of 31 articles that discussed usability attributes of consumer voice assistant technology, 12 were included in the review. Conclusion We highlight the successes and challenges of voice input technologies in health care and discuss opportunities to incorporate emerging voice assistant technologies used in the consumer domain.

Abstract:

Abstract Technology to support aging in place has been a topic of interest. Research indicates that older adults are increasingly using commercially available voice assistants in smart speakers. These devices enable non-visual interaction that does not require extensive expertise with traditional mobile or desktop computers, thus offering new possibilities of access to digital technology. We conducted two different studies with individuals aged 65 years old or above—a three week smart speaker deployment study with individuals who did not use computing devices regularly and a workshop on customizing internet of things technology with tech savvy individuals. Our findings indicate specific ways that these voice technologies might support aging in place, including ease of use and due to their not being identified with aging-specific technologies. We observed that participants consistently used their voice agent for finding online information, particularly health-related, emphasizing the need to revisit concerns about credibility of information with this new interaction medium. And, although features to support memory (e.g., setting timers, reminders) were initially perceived as useful, the actual usage was unexpectedly low due to reliability concerns. Our work provides a basis to understand older adults’ perceptions and usage of current voice technologies. We also identify opportunities for customizing voice technologies to better support aging in place.

Abstract:

The use of intelligent wheelchair and rehabilitation robots has increased rapidly in the recent years owing to a growing number of patients experiencing paralysis, quadriplegia, amputation, and geriatric conditions. In this paper, the design and development of a powerful voice control system is proposed. It includes three modes of operational voice-recognition algorithms. Two sophisticated voice-recognition modules are used to achieve this goal. The system supports speaker dependent (SD) and speaker independent (SI) voice processing. Two voice-recognition algorithms are used, dynamic time warping (DTW) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM), to ensure the maximum voice-recognition accuracy and reduce voice-recognition errors. The system is validated in different noise environments to verify the performance of the system with low and high noise and to evaluate the feasibility of using the system in these environments. Three popular languages (English, German, and Chinese) were used by the system to verify performance with different pronunciations.

Full text

Abstract:

Western voice is historically de-agentialized, that is, gendered female, opposed to performer self-listening, de-privileged relative to composition and rendered ocularcentric by recording technologies. However, by employing sound technologies as prosthesis to the vocal body, and by self-listening to manage the body-prosthesis relationship, contemporary extended voice practitioners figure as cyborgs reclaiming vocal agency, that is, input into mediation of and by one’s technologized vocal body.

Abstract:

Technologies such as voice assistants can aid older adults aging in place by assisting with basic home and health tasks in daily routines. However, currently available voice assistants have a common design-they are vastly represented as young and female. Humans may apply stereotypes to human-computer interactions similarly to human-human interactions. When stereotypes are activated, users may lose trust or confidence in the abilities of the device, or even stop using the device all together. The two purposes of this study are to 1) investigate if users can detect the age and gender of voice assistants, and 2) understand the extent to which a voice assistant’s perceived gender, age, and reliability elicit stereotypic responses. A series of health-related vignettes will be utilized to assess perceptions of and stereotypic responses toward voice assistants in younger and older adults. In line with previous research examining healthcare agents (Pak et al., 2014), we hypothesize that voice assistants with younger male voices will be rated as more trustworthy and that high reliability will have a positive impact on ratings of trust.

Abstract:

The article deals with the most widespread biometric identification systems of individuals, including voice recognition of the speaker on video and sound recordings. The urgency of the topic of identification of a person is due to the active informatization of modern society and the increase of flows of confidential information. The branches of the use of biometric technologies and their general characteristics are given. Here is an overview of the use of identification groups that characterize the voice. Also in the article the division of voice identification systems into the corresponding classes is given. The main advantages of voice biometrics such as simplicity of system realization are considered; low cost (the lowest among all biometric methods); No need for contact, the voice biometry allows for long-range verification, unlike other biometric technologies. The analysis of existing methods of speech recognition recognition identifying a person by a combination of unique voice characteristics, determining their weak and strong points, on the basis of which the choice of the most appropriate method for solving the problem of text-independent recognition, Namely the model of Gaussian mixtures, was carried out. The prerequisite for the development of speech technologies is a significant increase in computing capabilities, memory capacity with a significant reduction in the size of computer systems. It should also be Noted the development of mathematical methods that make it possible to perform the Necessary processing of an audio signal by isolating informative features from it. It has been established that the development of information technologies, and the set of practical applications, which use voice recognition technologies, make this area relevant for further theoretical and practical research.

Abstract:

This in utero tale deconstructs the consumption and marketing of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). It aims to highlight the deep ambivalence and phantasmagoria that accompany such transbiological procedures which, though undertheorised by marketing scholars, especially through an introspective lens, are reshaping markets and fundamental understanding of life, death, health, kin, progress, hope, sex, capital and cure. The story also advances extant marketing research on autobiography and consumer introspection theory (CIT) by introducing ‘autobiological writing’, a genre of self-reflexive, creative life writing which foregrounds lived, biological and medicalised experiences, therefore exposing the emotional ‘truths’, ‘authentic voices’, volatile bodies and experiential insights that often prove difficult to access and capture for consumer researchers. As liberatory narratives for the writers themselves and the researchers who extrapolate meaning from them, autobiological accounts offer unique critical cultural perspectives, in this case, on complex reprogenetic consumption.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT One of the greatest challenges of our times is that of lack of voice for abused bodies. These are the bodies of children and men and women who have inherited the brutalities of colonialism, plantation servitude and slavery and now re-live these miseries in the belly of a rampant global neoliberal and patriarchal capitalism. They are the racialized, sexualized, genderized and godless bodies that first took form in coloniality-modernity in conjunction with the emergence of MAN, the White, rational, disembodied male as HUMAN. They retain their shape today through technologies of vulnerability, with which the manufactured lack of voice works in dynamic synergy. This is particularly the case for South Africa, with its tender histories and distraught presents, raw emotion and sore vulnerabilities of racialized and neoliberal patriarchy. In this paper, we suggest that vulnerability, beyond its potentially devastating effect on souls and livelihoods, may also be a productive site for the articulation of alternative, and habitually silenced voices. In this regard, we explore how a focus on acts of Linguistic Citizenship may orientate thinking on voice and agency to different sites of the body, as well as allow insight into the complex technologies and practices of vulnerability.

Abstract:

Voice is one of the essential mechanisms for communicating and expressing one’s intentions as a human being. There are several causes of voice inability, including disease, accident, vocal abuse, medical surgery, ageing, and environmental pollution, and the risk of voice loss continues to increase. Novel approaches should have been developed for speech recognition and production because that would seriously undermine the quality of life and sometimes leads to isolation from society. In this review, we survey mouth interface technologies which are mouth-mounted devices for speech recognition, production, and volitional control, and the corresponding research to develop artificial mouth technologies based on various sensors, including electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), electropalatography (EPG), electromagnetic articulography (EMA), permanent magnet articulography (PMA), gyros, images and 3-axial magnetic sensors, especially with deep learning techniques. We especially research various deep learning technologies related to voice recognition, including visual speech recognition, silent speech interface, and analyze its flow, and systematize them into a taxonomy. Finally, we discuss methods to solve the communication problems of people with disabilities in speaking and future research with respect to deep learning components.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper investigates the changing relation of the human voice to theatrical space. Innovations in digital sound technologies are reconfiguring the materiality of the voice and, consequently, the mediality of contemporary theatre. Western theatre, which developed alongside the shift from an oral to a visually-oriented, literate society, has largely remained a visual medium that continually subsumes orality. New media of the 19th and 20th centuries prompted various proposals for a “total theatre,” which generally worked towards removing voice and language from the theatrical environment. Drawing upon the recent multivocal works of Quebec artist Marie Brassard, the author proposes that today’s digital sound technologies are redrawing the possibilities for voice in a theatre that enables, in McLuhan’s terms, the constant “interplay of the senses” within a new acoustic space.

Abstract:

Rapid technological innovation, a growing interest in voice care, and evolving scientific discovery have helped catalyze rapid advances in the surgical care of voice patients. In this article, I will review new and emerging technologies in voice management from the perspective of the otolaryngologist. Advances include improved methods for visualizing the larynx, newer light applications that hold promise for early stage detection and monitoring of epithelial disease, and office-based methods for performing biopsies and physiological testing. In addition, I will review newer treatment options such as lasers, vocal fold injectables, and minimally invasive techniques for manipulating the arytenoid. Finally, I will present new frontiers in research for patients with lamina propria disease. Speech-language pathologists must be aware of new technologies as they emerge to assure the best possible care of voice patients.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare user involvement in the case of assisted reproductive technologies in England and Portugal through the concepts of voice, choice and co-production, assessing the implications for user empowerment. Design/methodology/approach – This qualitative study draws primarily on policy review and uses exploratory semi-structured interviews with key informants as a way of illustrating points. Data on the following themes was compared: voice (users’ representativeness on licensing bodies and channels of communication between users and doctors); choice (funding and accessibility criteria; choice of fertility centres, doctors and level of care); and co-production (criteria through which users actively engage with health professionals in planning the treatment). Findings – Inter- and intra-healthcare systems variations between the two countries on choice and co-production were identified. Differences between funding and accessibility, regions, public and private sectors and attitudes towards doctor-patient relationship (paternalistic/partnership) were the key issues. Although consumer choice and indicators of co-production are evident in treatment pathways in both countries, user empowerment is not. This is limited by inequalities in accessibility criteria, dependence on doctors’ individual perspectives and lack of genuine and formal hearing of citizens’ voice. Originality/value – Enhancing users’ involvement claims for individual and organizational cultures reflecting user-centred values. Effective ways to incorporate users’ knowledge in shared decision making and co-design are needed to empower patients and to improve the delivery of care.

Thirty middle school students participated in outdoor activities related to real life phenomena with the mobile phone. The research results indicate that the teacher's decisions and intentions to utilize the mobile technologies in the learning of mathematics outdoors set the stage for student voice in the mobile context. Furthermore, teacher support, the availability of the mobile phone and the outdoor activities facilitated student voice through enabling various students' actions and interactions: Freedom, autonomy, equality, participation, collaboration, decision making, sharing of ideas and taking the responsibility of the teacher. The consequences of students' learning in the outdoor mobile context included affective as well as social consequences.

Abstract:

The article describes some practices of voice recognition technologies based on artificial intelligence to improve the educational process in a remote format. This is relevant to modern remote education environment. The author presents an analysis of existing approaches to the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the educational process. Elements of artificial intelligence in a specialist software make the educational process more modern and convenient both for the learner and the teacher. One of the implementations for a natural user interface is a voice-user interface, which recognizes words to understand spoken commands and to answer questions, it converts the text into speech. The author has carried out an analytical review of implementations of specialized applications for Yandex assistant in which, the voice interface is used to improve children's language skills. Algorithm development of an application for Google assistant which uses voice recognition technologies and artificial intelligence for for teaching a foreign language is described. The application can be used in the educational process for teaching academic English; it also allows to increase English vocabulary, train the construction of grammatically correct scientific expressions, and memorize scientific language patterns.

Abstract:

AbstractWith the development of mobile technologies, voice search is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives. By investigating the general usage of voice search and user perception about voice search systems, this research aims to understand users’ voice search behavior. We are particularly interested in how users perform voice search, their topics of interest, and their preference toward voice search. We elicit users’ opinions by asking them to fill out an online survey. Results indicated that participants liked voice search because it was convenient. However, voice search was used much less frequently than keyboard search. The success rate of voice search was low, and the participants usually gave up voice search or switched to keyboard search. They tended to perform voice search when they were driving or walking. Moreover, the participants mainly used voice search for simple tasks on mobile devices. The main reasons why participants disliked voice search are attributed to the system mistakes and the fact that they were unable to modify the queries.

Abstract:

Student Voice is a term that honors the participatory roles that students have when they enter learning spaces like classrooms. Student Voice is the recognition of students’ choice, creativity, and freedom. Seminal educationists—like Dewey and Montessori—centered the purposes of education in the flourishing and valuing of Student Voice. This article examines the relationship between the integration of educational technology and Student Voice . In particular, the article describes and reports on a mixed-methods study of teacher candidates’ (n=63) perceptions of and practices with integrating digital technology and Student Voice. The article has two objectives. The first objective is to examine how teacher candidates construct and define the term Student Voice. The second objective is to describe how teacher candidates integrate digital technology and Student Voice into their lesson plan ideas. The study had three findings. First, the teacher candidates most closely defined and connected Student Voice with creative freedom. Second, although the teacher candidates had learner-centered definitions for Student Voice it was difficult for them to translate their definitions into actual lesson plan ideas that included the integration of educational technology in order for students to create so that their voices could be heard. Third, the student questionnaire data also illustrated how teacher candidates had varied perceptions of the relationship between technology and Student Voice; the candidates were more likely to describe elementary students’ primary use of technology as “using apps or software to practice subject-area skills” or “playing educational games” than any other technology-rich activities. The teacher candidates were disconnected in their perceptions about what Student Voice meant and their proposed pedagogies to enhance Student Voice with digital technologies. To address the disconnect, the article discusses strategies that can guide teacher candidates to integrate educational technology into their lesson plans to allow students to create and for the Student Voice to resonate throughout the classroom community.

Abstract:

While text-based feedback is normally used by college instructors to help students improve their written assignments, it is important to consider using voice comment tools for further personalization. New and easily-accessible technologies provide this option. Our study focused on surveying undergraduates who received voice comments on their written assignments. Students were queried on their preferences for feedback delivery and survey questions probed student responses both quantitatively and qualitatively. Two voice comment tools were used: Adobe Acrobat Reader and Kaizena voice comments. Results showed the majority (66.7%) of students surveyed preferred the addition of voice comment feedback over written comments alone. Appendices supply tool information, full data sets and extensive student commentary regarding their experience after receiving voice comments.

Abstract:

Abstract This essay takes the auto-tuned viral video “Can't Hug Every Cat” as a point of entry for a broader analysis of how modulation decisively shapes politics, aesthetics, and gendering in contemporary digital ecologies. It uncovers how the exaggerated exhibitions of feminine vocal modulation in “Can't Hug Every Cat” entangle with generational feminist anxieties over gendered forms of articulation such as “sexy baby voice” and “upspeak.” It argues that the problematic of the modulated voice is both technologically and thematically central to political, technological, aesthetic, and gendered genealogies of media-technical modulation. The modulated voice given such extraordinary staging in “Can't Hug Every Cat” is therefore restored to the longer history of voice modulation, which is itself closely tied to the rise of control societies and digital media. In this perspective, techniques of voice modulation and social modulation are tandem technologies. The voice modulation that has figured prominently in media cultures in recent decades—from the music of Cher to T-Pain and beyond—is not merely a consequence of digital media and control societies but is also integral to their conditions of possibility. In this light, the rise of technologies for the modulation of the human voice since the nineteenth century is intertwined with the rise of new economic, political, and medical systems of control.

Abstract:

In the 1980s, new reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer became commercially available in the United States, and somatic cell nuclear transfer—the cloning process by which Dolly the Sheep would be conceived in 1996—was in its experimental phase. While anxieties concerning these new technologies escalated in the popular sensorium, Laurie Anderson explored the phenomenon of cloning in a short musical film called What You Mean We? (1986) in which Anderson consults a design team to clone herself in order to manage her demanding workload. The videographic image of the clone is Anderson herself, performing in drag, and her clone’s body is partially created through the use of a pitch shifter which changes Anderson’s voice to that of the cloned—but ostensibly male—version of herself. In this article, I investigate Anderson’s technological consideration of the body, which extends beyond her own corporeality, to interrogate the biological and affective capacities of clones. I consider how Anderson addresses the convergence of reproductive technologies, the market and the creation of subjects within this market as participating in a shift in how voices are heard, governed and reproduced in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Abstract:

With the rapid growth of wearable computing and increasing demand for mobile authentication scenarios, voiceprint-based authentication has become one of the prevalent technologies and has already presented tremendous potentials to the public. However, it is vulnerable to voice spoofing attacks (e.g., replay attacks and synthetic voice attacks). To address this threat, we propose a new biometric authentication approach, named EarPrint, which aims to extend voiceprint and build a hidden and secure user authentication scheme on earphones. EarPrint builds on the speaking-induced body sound transmission from the throat to the ear canal, i.e., different users will have different body sound conduction patterns on both sides of ears. As the first exploratory study, extensive experiments on 23 subjects show the EarPrint is robust against ambient noises and body motions. EarPrint achieves an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 3.64% with 75 seconds enrollment data. We also evaluate the resilience of EarPrint against replay attacks. A major contribution of EarPrint is that it leverages two-level uniqueness, including the body sound conduction from the throat to the ear canal and the body asymmetry between the left and the right ears, taking advantage of earphones' paring form-factor. Compared with other mobile and wearable biometric modalities, EarPrint is a low-cost, accurate, and secure authentication solution for earphone users.

Abstract:

Abstract In recent years voice-assisted technologies, such as the Amazon Echo Show and Google Home, have been harnessed to help older adults manage their health. However, little is known about the use of such technologies in combination with in-home sensor systems to help older adults age in place. Therefore, this research explored user preferences of older adults and a designated family member/friend in using voice-assisted technologies to retrieve in-home sensor-generated health information, such as fall risk and other early indicators of health changes. Seventeen dyad interviews were conducted with known pairs of older adults (Mean age=75; 56% female) and a family member/friend (Mean age=64; 89% female). Participants were given a description of the technology and its capabilities, and then were instructed to interact with each device using a prepared scenario. Participants asked each device health-related questions to elicit pre-programmed information for the respective scenarios and provided user experience feedback for each device. At the end of the interview, participants completed a speech recognition test for each device and a technology acceptance survey. Overall acceptance of the technology was high, and participants believed that using voice-assisted technologies to retrieve sensor-generated health information would be beneficial in managing their health or providing care to a family member/friend. However, advantages and disadvantages exist with each device and the Google Home generally performed better on the speech recognition test for each dyad pair. These findings provide valuable insight about older adults’ preferences (as well as family members’/friends) in using voice-assisted technologies to manage their health.

Abstract:

The state of the art Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile core networks predominantly use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for transporting voice across networks. Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) designed for LTE network based on an IP Multimedia System (IMS)) framework is the key to enriched voice communication services for the next generation networks. Emerging technologies like Rich Communication Suite, Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) will impart a new dimension to voice communications and harmonise voice and value added services. Many of the mobile networks and voice carriers evolved their network from traditional Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) / Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) to Internet Protocol (IP). Several interworking protocols have appeared for interexchange of Voice traffic between TDM and IP. SIP to ISDN User Part (ISUP) interoperability mechanisms have been devised. But, in spite of all the endeavours of the mobile networks move to the next generation, it will probably take some time for the networks to completely migrate from UMTS to LTE. As both the technologies will coexist, Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) and Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) are two of the most preferred options in the interim to switch from 4G to 3G when the coverage is lost. 3G networks rely still on circuit switching. It can be inferred that circuit switched networks piggybacking on ISUP for voice communication will continue. In this paper, we examine the ISUP signalling aspects to optimize the load sharing and streamline the performance of the traditional voice core networks. We will study the dependencies of the Circuit Identification Code (CIC) selection process on ISUP load sharing to derive our conclusions.
