title={Harmonic Alternatives to Sine-Wave Speech},
abstract={Sine-wave speech (SWS) is a three-tone replica of speech, conventionally
created by matching each constituent sinusoid in amplitude and frequency
with the corresponding vocal tract resonance (formant). We propose an alternative
technique where we take a high-quality multicomponent sinusoidal representation
and decimate this model so that there are only three components per frame.
In contrast to SWS, the resulting signal contains only components that
were present in the original signal. Consequently it preserves the harmonic
fine structure of voiced speech. Perceptual studies indicate that this
signal is judged more natural and intelligible than SWS. Furthermore, its
tonal artifacts can mostly be eliminated by the introduction of only a
few additional components, which leads to an intriguing speculation about
grouping issues. },
