More footnotes date April 2009 phonation Breathy voice also called murmured voice , soughing , or susurration is a phonation in which the vocal cords vibrate, as they do in normal modal voicing, but are held further apart, so that a larger volume of air escapes between them. This produces an audible noise. A breathy voiced phonation IPA not actually a fricative , as a literal reading of the IPA chart would suggest can sometimes be heard as an allophone of English IPA h between vowels, e.g. in the word behind , for some speakers. A stop with breathy voiced release symbolized either as IPA b , d , , m etc. or as IPA b , d , , m etc. is like aspiration phonetics aspiration in that it delays the onset of full voicing. Breathy voiced vowels are written IPA a , e , etc. In the context of the Indo Aryan languages e.g. Sanskrit and Hindi and comparative Indo European languages Indo European studies , breathy voiced consonants are often called voiced aspirated , as in e.g. the Hindi and Sanskrit stops normally denoted bh, dh, h, jh, and gh and the reconstructed Proto Indo European language Proto Indo European phoneme g h . From an articulatory perspective this terminology is incorrect, as breathy voice is a different type of phonation from aspiration phonetics aspiration .

reimprove date June 2010 phonation Harsh voice , also called ventricular voice or in some high tone register phonology register s pressed voice , is the production of speech sounds typically vowel s with a constricted larynx laryngeal cavity , which generally involves epiglottal co articulation. Harsh voice includes the use of the ventricular folds the false vocal cords to damp the glottis in a way similar to what happens when a person talks while lifting a heavy load, or, if the sound is voiceless, like clearing one s throat. It contrasts with faucalized voice , which involves the expansion of the larynx. When the epiglottal co articulation becomes a trill consonant trill , the vowels are called strident vowel strident . There is no symbol for harsh voice in the International Phonetic Alphabet IPA . Diacritics seen in the literature include the under tilde used for creaky voice , the double under tilde used as the ad hoc diacritic for strident vowels, which may be allophonic with harsh voice, and an ad hoc underline. In the Extensions to the IPA , the symbol is , as in IPA a , but this is ambiguous with the release of alveolar click . The Bai language has both harsh pressed and strident vowels as part of its register system, but they are not contrastive. The Bor dialect of Dinka language Dinka has contrastive modal, breathy, faucalized, and harsh voice in its vowels, as well as three tones.

It is also the term used in linguistics for the most common phonation of vowels. The term modal refers to the resonance resonant mode of vocal cords that is, the optimal combination of airflow and glottis glottal tension that yields maximum vibration. ref name SOWL SOWL ref In linguistics , modal voice is the only phonation found in the vowels and other sonorant s consonants such as m, n, l, and r of most of the languages of the world, though a significant minority contrast modal voice with other phonations. Among obstruent s consonants such as k, g, ch, j, s, and z , it is very common for languages to contrast modal voice with voiceless ness, though in English phonology English many supposedly voiced obstruents do not have modal voice in most environments. ref name SOWL In speech pathology , the modal register is one of the four identifiable registers within the human voice, lying above the vocal fry register and overlapping the lower part of the falsetto register .

A voice engine is a software subsystem for bidirectional audio communication, typically used as part of a telecommunications system to simulate a telephone . It functions like a data pump for audio data, specifically voice data. The voice engine is typically used in an embedded system . The term became popularized after 2000 with the proliferation of voice over internet protocol technology in software Digital signal processing DSP systems. Voice engines handle the voice processing for an IP Phone system on a standard processor, compared to prior generations of systems which required dedicated, math optimized digital signal processor chips ref cite news url http www.dspdesignline.com howto 204803680 title Implementing VoIP with software voice engines, DSP DesignLine Design Center accessdate 2008 02 02 ref . Voice engines are highly optimized software subsystems due to the mathematically complex signal processing required for voice filtering and speech coding . The filter stages and coding elements within a voice engine are designed to work in conjunction with a larger telecommunications system , including only a specific and limited range of processing to minimize the voice engine s memory size and processor usage. Compared to software desktop applications which might employ plugins to continually add flexibility or extensibility, a voice engine is designed to meet specific industry standards for interoperability .

A voice browser is a web browser that presents an interactive voice user interface to the user. In addition, it typically provides an interface to the PSTN or a Private branch exchange PBX . Just as a visual web browser works with HTML pages, a voice browser operates on pages that specify voice dialogues. Typically these pages are written in VoiceXML , the World Wide Web Consortium W3C s standard voice dialog markup language, but other proprietary voice dialogue languages remain in use. A voice browser presents information aurally, using pre recorded audio file playback or using text to speech software to render textual information as audio. A voice browser obtains information using speech recognition and keypad entry e.g., DTMF detection . As speech recognition and web technologies have matured over the past decade, thousands of voice applications have been deployed commercially and voice browsers are supplanting traditional proprietary interactive voice response IVR systems. Scores of companies provide voice browsers. These take the form of software, packaged hardware software solutions or hosted solutions.
