Text-to-formant converter
The HIDOL program serves for measuring and giving statistics on speech sound-durations. When measuring speech sound duration, the sound environment of the measured sound can be adjusted as well. The position of the measured speech sound can also be determined within the word. Word length can be measured as well. Output statistics are: averages, distributions, comparisons, trends). Results of the measure are given in a txt file. The program measures the speech sound- and word durations from a manually tagged Hungarian speech database.
The program was created in 2004 in Budapest. Developers are: Gábor Olaszy and Kálmán Abari. This was the first computer-aided speech sound duration analysis program and data environment for Hungarian speech.
The speech database contains read sentences in the pronunciation of a native Hungarian male speaker. The sentences in the speech database (files with a wav extension) can be listened directly from the speech database.
The program only works with its own speech database!
FOR USING THIS PROGRAMM IT IS GOOD IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE!
