At first I didn't get it. But then I tried it. And I like it! How cool would this option be for 'books on tape'.

- abstractbill 17y agoEven better if you could get it working automatically. I wonder if there's any existing work on using signal processing to turn audio of spoken words into a whisper or a shout?

- mojuba 17y agoTheoretically, you'd need to separate the tonal part of the voice and the noise part. The tonal part goes up/down, let's say, one octave at a time and becomes louder or quieter. Pure whisper is essentially only the noise part. The separation routine should look into the spectrum: the tonal part must look like narrower bands, while the rest is noise. Tonal transformations may be more complex in reality than just multiplication, but the simplest transformation might work OK too.

- techiferous 17y agoI'd love to have a Chris Farley shouting version of the Bible.
- bryanh 17y agoI'd hate to be the reader doing 5 different takes for the entire book, from whispering to shouting my lungs out for hours!
