TRANS — Tonal spectral analysis covering 7 octaves

Determines the frequency characteristics of a speech recording through spectral analysis. Spectral analysis results in a set of 168 spectral parameters that cover 7 octaves between 64 Hz and 8192 Hz at a quartertone resolution (24 equidistant tones per octave). Spectra may be stored in the databank and subsequently used for investigations into the voice sound characteristics of male and female speakers (cf. program FDFREQ) or used for the construction of spectral patterns (cf. program PATTERNS, computerized identification of persons by spectral voice patterns).
