Viewing speech in action: speech articulation videos in the public domain that demonstrate the sounds of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) (2016)
Journal Article
Nakai, S., Beavan, D., Lawson, E., Leplâtre, G., Scobbie, J. M., & Stuart-Smith, J. (2016). Viewing speech in action: speech articulation videos in the public domain that demonstrate the sounds of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Innovation in

In this article, we introduce recently released, publicly available resources, which allow users to watch videos of hidden articulators (e.g. the tongue) during the production of various types of sounds found in the world’s languages. The articulatio... Read More about Viewing speech in action: speech articulation videos in the public domain that demonstrate the sounds of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. (1999)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1999). Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. CASYS, 4, 227-239

This paper addresses the issue of music as a communication medium in auditory humancomputer interfaces. So far, psychoacoustics has had a great influence on the development of auditory interfaces, directly and through music cognition. We suggest t...

An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. (1998)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1998). An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues. Proceedings of the 1998 international conference on Auditory Display(ICAD '98), 19

This paper describes an experiment that investigates new principles for representing hierarchical menus such as telephone-based interface menus, with non-speech audio. A hierarchy of 25 nodes with a sound for each node was used. The sounds were des... Read More about An investigation of using music to provide navigation cues..
