Abstract

Visemes (phonemes that look the same while viewing the lips) within the English language are extremely difficult for heating impaired individuals using speech-reading to distinguish. Contemporary spectral displays of speech are inadequate to reliably differentiate subtle differences in the acoustic signal. Our project has investigated novel ways to display the spectrum in order to emphasize these subtleties.
