Instrumentation and validity for direct-readout voice onset time measurement.
Methods and instrumentation for direct readout of voice onset time (VOT) are presented along with sample measurements for three subjects. Mean VOT and intrasubject variability are compared with data obtained from wide-band spectrograms. The results suggest that the instrumentation described yields VOT values comparable to those obtained from wide-band spectrograms. Implications for diagnosis are discussed and research needs are identified.
