Subject: [Q] Voiced vs. Unvoiced?

From: Tentochi <tentochi2003@...>
Date: 2003-01-13

How do vocoders determine whether a sound (usually
vocal) is voice or unvoiced? I have looked at some
scheamtics, but I am not 100% sure what is going on.

What it is determined whether a sound is voice or
unvoiced, how is the vocal handled differently?

When making this determination, is it instantaneous or
is there a "frame" in which it is performed? Are
there ever problems with the signal fluctuating
rapidly between voiced and unvoiced? If so, what kind
of artifacts result?

Thanks!
Shemp
