Abstract
Automatic speech recognition has improved dramatically over the past few decades. The goal of such systems is typically only to output a simple stream of words. Humans, however, use information beyond words alone to convey and comprehend messages. Such information includes intonation (variations in pitch), rhythm and timing of speech sounds, stress and loudness patterns, and even variation in voice quality. Together, these cues are referred to as prosodic information.
