    The Center for Spoken Language Understanding at Oregon Graduate Institute announces the first release of a web site devoted to spectrogram reading, including (1) an overview of background material needed to understand what a spectrogram is, (2) spectral cues for American English phonemes, (3) the display of single word spectrograms from clean speech as well as telephone speech, and (4) the ability to record your own speech via telephone and to view the resulting spectrograms.

    We would very much appreciate your feedback, in particular on the clarity and educational content of the web material; suggestions for future enhancements to the site are also welcome. The primary author and best contact for comments concerning this page is Tim Carmell (carmellcse.ogi.edu).

    The URL for the new spectrogram reading web site is:

    As part of preparation for an edited collection of studies on Vowel Disorders, I am keen to contact anyone who has done/is doing research on disordered vowel systems of languages other than English, for recruitment as potential contributors.

    While such work may well cover normal acquisition as well, the book concentrates on disordered vowel systems, so potential authors must have covered this aspect as well.

    Please contact me by e-mail in the first instance with a brief summary of your work, and a note as to your position and institution. I'd be grateful, also, to receive names/e-mails of colleagues doing such work who might not otherwise read this message.
