Abstract

This research investigated the structure of the speech Fundamental Frequency (F0). The principal objective of this study was to create an improved method for analyzing, understanding, and plotting the F0 values of spoken words. The F0 is created by a variety of models that produce the F0 values for plotting. These F0 values are a represented average of the lower range frequency of sound.
