Abstract
In this paper the upper performance limits of automatic syllable
segmentation algorithms using single or multiple frequency band
envelopes as their primary segmentation feature are explored. Each
algorithm is tested against the TIMIT corpus of continuous read
speech. The results show that candidate matching rates as high as
99% can be achieved by segmentation based on a simple envelope,
but only at the expense of as many as 13 non-matching candidates
per syllable. We conclude that a low total error rate requires an
algorithm which can reject many candidates or which uses features
other than those based on envelope alone to generate fewer, more
accurate candidates.
