Figure 11. A sample of speech to facial animation system-Development an Automatic Speech to Facial Animation Conversion for Improve Deaf Lives

<p>To increase the autonomy of deaf and hard of hearing people in their day-to-day<br> professional and social lives, in this paper design and initial implementation of a new approach<br> based on MFCC and Vector Quantization Method is described. This approach includes<br> analyses of speech to animate the talking head. Our future work will include the conception of<br> new test types and performance patterns. We are particularly interested in extending this<br> approach to testing to include implementation of applications under real-time constraints</p>
