COLEA: A Matlab Software Tool for Speech Analysis
Features
- Dual time-waveform and spectrogram displays
- Records speech directly into MATLAB NEW
- Displays time-aligned phonetic transcriptions (e.g., TIMIT's .phn files) - see example Figure above
- Manual segmentation of speech waveforms - creates label files which can be used to train speech recognition systems
- Waveform editing - cutting, copying or pasting speech segments
- Formant analysis - displays formant tracks of F1, F2 and F3
- Pitch analysis
- Filter tool - filters speech signal at cutoff frequencies specified by the user
- Comparison tool - compares two waveforms using several spectral distance measures
- Speech degradation - adds noise to the speech signal at an SNR specified by the user
Download program
The MATLAB program is distributed as freeware and is intended for non-commercial purposes only. It requires Matlab ver.
6.x (or 7.x) and Matlab's Signal Processing Toolbox.
If you have MATLAB ver. 4.2, you may download this file:
colea4.zip
Installation instructions
PC/Win95
After downloading the zip file, create a new directory (say colea), and then pkunzip the file in that directory, i.e., type: pkunzip colea.zip
-
Unix
After downloading the tar file, just type: tar xvf colea.tar to un-tar it. This will create a new directory, called "colea".
Download manual
For more information, you may download the manual in pdf format: manual.pdf or postscript format: manual.ps.
The manual is already included in the .zip or .tar files.
About COLEA
COLEA was originally developed in MATLAB 5.x, and is actually a subset of a COchLEA
Implants Toolbox. It does not exploit the new features of MATLAB 7.x. For more information about our research (supported by NIH) on cochlear implants, visit our
web site.
