Electro-laryngeal (EL) speech is characterized by constant pitch, limited prosody, and mechanical noise, reducing naturalness and intelligibility. We propose a lightweight adaptation of the state-of-the-art StreamVC framework to this setting by removing pitch and energy modules and combining self-su…
The aim of this work is the estimation of respiratory flow from lung sound recordings, i.e. acoustic airflow estimation. With a 16-channel lung sound recording device, we simultaneously record the respiratory flow and the lung sounds on the posterior chest from six lung-healthy subjects in supine po…
For automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems it is important that the input signal mainly contains the desired speech signal. For a compact arrangement, differential microphone arrays (DMAs) are a suitable choice as front-end of ASR systems. The limiting factor of DMAs is the white noise gain, whi…
