From the Preface: Few if any events have had greater impact on the history of film than the coming of the talkies, film historians have paid relatively little attention to how and why the transition from silent to sound cinema came about. It is hoped that the present work will provide the factual groundwork for repairing that neglect. Its emphasis is on the history of American contributions to the evolution of the sound film, but significant foreign achievements have not been overlooked. The book surveys the events that led from the invention of the phonograph in 1877 to that momentous evening in 1927 when an audience at the Warner's Theatre in New York City saw and heard Al Jolson speak from the screen. It also considers the effects of the sound revolution on Hollywood and Hollywood film production during the transitional years 1928-29. The published sources on which this study was based have all been indicated in the notes, and the reader is advised to consult that original material whenever he requires additional technical or factual information.

This book addresses different aspects of the research field and a wide range of topics in speech signal processing, speech recognition and language processing. The chapters are divided in three different sections: Speech Signal Modeling, Speech Recognition and Applications. The chapters in the first section cover some essential topics in speech signal processing used for building speech recognition as well as for speech synthesis systems: speech feature enhancement, speech feature vector dimensionality reduction, segmentation of speech frames into phonetic segments. The chapters of the second part cover speech recognition methods and techniques used to read speech from various speech databases and broadcast news recognition for English and non-English languages. The third section of the book presents various speech technology applications used for body conducted speech recognition, hearing impairment, multimodal interfaces and facial expression recognition.

"'The phonograph is not an opera house' - mit diesem Zitat hält Thomas Alva Edison eine ganz wichtige Erkenntnis zur Medialität der Tonaufnahme fest. In der Tat unterschied sich schon die frühe Tonaufnahme und ihr klangliches Ergebnis in jeglicher Hinsicht ganz wesentlich von dem musikalischen Geschehen, das auf der Bühne stattfand. Dies ist der Fall, weil nicht nur die Tonaufnahmegeräte und ihre Bauteile technisch auf das klangliche Ergebnis einwirken, sondern auch die an der Aufnahme anders: Die Singstimme, wie sie auf dem Medium Tonaufnahme erscheint, wird entwickelt in vielfältigem Zusammenwirken wiederum findet nicht im 'luftleeren Raum' statt, sondern wird geformt und beeinflusst durch die verschiedensten Diskurse und Diskussionen um Ästhetik, Technik, Mensch und Natur. All dies am Beispiel der frühen Tonaufnahme in den Studios der Plattenfirmen Edison und Victor näher zu beleuchten, ist das Ziel dieses Buches, mit dem die Autorin zugleich die Ergebnisse ihrer Forschugnen im DFG-Projekt 'Technologien des Singens' vorlegt"--Back cover.

Une perspective nouvelle dans l'analyse du cinéma : en privilégiant l'entrée sonore, l'auteur montre comment la propagation des échos à travers l'espace filmique perturbe la réception spectatorielle des films, même des plus classiques. Aucun son n'est jamais à l'image de quelque chose, mais toujours en marge d'une image dont il n'offre que des brouillons imparfaits. Dans le film, le sonore insinue sous le visible les évocations multiples auxquelles il fait écho. En organisant la déliaison du son et de l'image, le cinéma met en concurrence le regard, attentif au contour des figures, et l'écoute, sensible à leur devenir. Relançant une approche phénoménologique de la perception, ce livre propose une perspective nouvelle sur le rôle de l'écoute dans la réception d'un film. Le spectateur se trouve placé au centre d'une réflexion cinématographique dont l'orientation privilégie désormais, avec l'entrée sonore, les résonances que les bruits et les voix propagent dans l'espace filmique et la perturbation qu'ils provoquent dans l'entente des films les plus classiques. Ce faisant, l'écoute s'attache à déplier, à travers l'entretien syncopé du son et de l'image, le champ des formes éphémères que chaque son fait surgir.
