Abstract
In a computerized method, speech signals are analyzed using statistical trajectory modeling to produce time aligned acoustic-phonetic units. There is one acoustic-phonetic unit for each portion of the speech signal determined to be phonetically distinct. The acoustic-phonetic units are translated to corresponding time aligned image units representative of the acoustic-phonetic units. An image including the time aligned image units is displayed. The display of the time aligned image units is synchronized to a replaying of the digitized natural speech signal.
