This is impossible in principle, at least in the form that you asked. A modified version of the task might be possible. The main reason is that the input would be an acoustic waveform, which needs to …

This paper may be useful for its collection of references. This paper is a single simple read. The problem is that the spectral properties of fricatives are usually reported in terms of the frequency …

There is no such thing. What can be recorded (i.e. what occurs in speech) is an allophone, and phonemes are abstractions built from allophones. Every allophone occurs in a particular context, so the a …

IMO this is a classical terminological question. In some views, by definition it is an "allophone". The phones are the detailed surface sounds, a symbolic representation of speech without prejudice to …

There is no program that converts samples speech to IPA. Some program might appear to do that, by converting an utterance of language Z into its orthographic form then following conventional text-to-I …

I suspect you are not using the expression "phone level" in its technical sense. Also "detecting words at the phone level" isn't meaningful, but perhaps you intend "detecting words, given a waveform-t …

I suggest reading the Voice tutorial in Praat, which you will see a link to if you check help searching for "pulses". There is a display, 'pulses', which marks "voiced pulses". There are two kinds of …

Phones are a "thing" because they were the first decent method of objectively and accurately recording unwritten languages (in the 19th century). Back then, if you heard a Lushootseed speaker translat …

Assuming the goal of writing a speech recognition program that does what the human mind does, a large non-linguistic front end must be dealt with first (a front end that is decidedly not part of lingu …

This suggests a possible meta-study on intelligibility of technical works by native and non-native speakers. A technical paper in phonology might be unintelligible because of the linguistic structure …

The other answers have hit the highlights, going so far as to suggest that it is impossible in principle. Contrariwise, I argue that it could be done in principle, as long as you don't overstate what …

You could use Acoustical characteristics of selected English consonants, by Ilse Lehiste, to determine what the formant transition patterns are, or the voicing patterns, that would be of interest to y …

If I understand your goal (unassisted speech to text conversion, using Praat), this is not doable out of the box, but you might eventually develop the tools for doing this. An alternative interpretati …

You will probably have to dig elsewhere to find actual data on lateral lisps. One large caveat is that you can't compare children and adults, and the data on characteristic properties of phonemes will …
