| Abstract | Epochs are the locations correspond to glottal closure instants for voiced speech segments and onset of bursts or frication in unvoiced segments. In the recent years, the zero frequency filtering (ZFF) based epoch estimation has received a growing attention for clean or studio speech signals. The ZFF based epoch estimation exploits the impulse like excitation characteristics at the zero frequency (DC) region in speech. As the lower frequency regions in telephonic speech are significantly attenuated, ZFF approach gives degraded epoch estimation performance. Therefore, the objective of the present work is to propose refinements to the existing ZFF based epoch estimation algorithm for improved epoch estimation in telephonic speech. The strength of the impulses at the zero frequency region are enhanced by computing the Hilbert envelope (HE) of the speech which in turn improve the epoch estimation performance. The resonators located at the approximate F0 locations of the short term blocks of conventional zero frequency filtered signal, are also found to improve the epoch estimation performance in telephonic speech. The performance of the refined ZFF method is evaluated on 3 speaker voices (JMK, SLT and BDL) of CMU Arctic database having simultaneous speech and EGG recordings. The telephonic version of CMU Arctic database is simulated using tools provided by the international telecommunication union (ITU). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
