Time-compressed Speech - Methods

Methods

  • Removal of silences. There are normally silences between words and sentences, and even small silences within certain words. These can be reduced considerably and still leave an understandable result.
  • Increasing speed. The speed can be increased on the entire audio track, but this has the undesirable effect of increasing the frequency, so the voice sounds high-pitched (like someone who has inhaled helium). This can be compensated for, however, by bringing the pitch back down to the proper frequency.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    The greatest part of our faults are more excusable than the methods that are commonly taken to conceal them.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
