	Speech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speech can be described as an act of producing voice through the use of the vocal cords and vocal apparatus or other means, such as sign language, to create linguistic acts in the form of language that communicate information from an initiator to a recipient.
		The success of a speech act depends on numerous factors, including the presence or absence of a variety of speech disorders, the ability of the speaker to express the intended message, and the ability and willingness of the audience to play the role of recipient.....
		Speech is a composite of sciences (phonetics, anatomy, philosophy, psychology etc.) and therefore it is extremely hard to master the skill.

	Speech delay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speech delay refers to a delay in the development or use of the mechanisms that produce speech.
		Speech, as distinct from language, refers to the actual process of making sounds, using such organs and structures as the lungs, vocal cords, mouth, tongue, teeth, etc. Language delay refers to a delay in the development or use of the knowledge of language.
		Conversely, a child with a language delay typically has not yet had the opportunity to produce speech sounds, it is therefore likely to have a delay in speech as well.

	Delayed Speech or Language Development
		Speech is the verbal expression of language and includes articulation, which is the way words are formed.
		Speech delays in an otherwise normally developing child are rarely caused by oral impairments, such as problems with the tongue or palate (the roof of the mouth).
		Speech may be the only problem or may be accompanied by other oral-motor problems such as feeding difficulties.

	CSS3 Speech Module
		The speech rendering of a document, already commonly used by the blind and print-impaired communities, combines speech synthesis and "auditory icons".
		The overriding priority is to match the language specified by the xml:lang attribute as per the XML 1.0 specification, and as inherited by nested elements until overridden by a further xml:lang attribute.
		This provides a hint to the speech platform as to how to interpret the corresponding element's content and is useful when the content is ambigous and liable to be misinterpreted.

	Speech Acts
		Moreover, almost any speech act is really the performance of several acts at once, distinguished by different aspects of the speaker's intention: there is the act of saying something, what one does in saying it, such as requesting or promising, and how one is trying to affect one's audience.
		Although the focus of speech act theory has been on utterances, especially those made in conversational and other face-to-face situations, the phrase 'speech act' should be taken as a generic term for any sort of language use, oral or otherwise.
		Speech acts, being perlocutionary as well as illocutionary, generally have some ulterior purpose, but they are distinguished primarily by their illocutionary type, such as asserting, requesting, promising and apologizing, which in turn are distinguished by the type of attitude expressed.

		Speech platforms should do their best to provide good quality voices and may override the voice characteristics when a voice with the requested characteristics is unavailable, or would significantly reduce the perceived quality or intelligibility.
		The speech output platform largely determines behavior in the case that a document requires speech output in a language not supported by the speech output platform.

	Speech-Language Disorders
		Speech and language development is affected by the physical, cognitive, and sensory-motor characteristics of each child.
		Because of the wide variation in the population of boys with fragile X, generalized statements about the speech and language of all persons with fragile X cannot be made.
		Yet, there is remarkable similarity in the patterns of speech and language strengths and weaknesses among boys with fragile X. Most boys with fragile X do learn to speak, although some younger children may require augmentative communication devices (pictures, sign language, computerized boards, etc.) to help them make the transition to oral speech.

	Acoustics of the Voice
		Existing technologies used in speech pathology and speech trainers to provide visual feedback from the speech sound are inherently limited in precision and practicality.
		Even the most advanced speech recognition systems still mistake words, which indicates the limits of their precision in accurate measures of pronunciation.
		The basic problem is that the speech signal alone does not have enough information in it to allow us to work out, quickly and precisely, the configuration of the vocal tract.

	Speech Compression
		Historically, digital speech signals are sampled at a rate of 8000 samples/sec.
		The model says that the digital speech signal is the output of a digital filter (called the LPC filter) whose input is either a train of impulses or a white noise sequence.
		Original (64000 bps) This is the original speech signal sampled at 8000 samples/second and u-law quantized at 8 bits/sample.
