Assessing the effects of accent-mismatched reference population databases on the performance of an automatic speaker recognition system
Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) systems are designed to provide the user with statistics relating to the similarity of two or more speech samples and to the typicality of those shared features in the wider population. When an ASR system is used as part of a forensic investigation, the user must decide what counts as the appropriate ‘wider population’ and select a reference database accordingly. While it has generally been held that the voices…
Sub-regional ‘other-accent’ effects on lay listeners’ speaker identification abilities
Previous studies have shown that listeners perform worse in speaker identification experiments when they are unfamiliar with the accents of the speakers. Such effects have been documented for listeners hearing unfamiliar foreign languages (language familiarity effect) and unfamiliar regional accents (‘other-accent’ effect). The present study investigates the ‘other-accent’ effect at a sub-regional level. Listeners from three different localities …
IPAtranscriptor
IPAtranscriptor is a tool for creating narrow phonetic transcriptions. As it connects to the computer's default text-to-speech engine on demand, the program can be used not only by sighted but also by partially sighted and blind individuals. Sighted users can choose whether they prefer the mouse or the keyboard as their input device. In contrast to other programs, the full set of symbols and diacritics of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)…

Speaker-recognition ability of blind and sighted subjects
Blind individuals are known to outperform sighted ones in a variety of auditory tasks. The present study was carried out to investigate whether the blind possess superior speaker-recognition abilities as well. Approximately one week after subjects were familiarised with the voice of one speaker, they had to recognise him among seven matched foils within two voice line-ups (hi-fi vs cellular telephone quality). As a result, the blind performed sig…
