Finding the qualities of the
vowel
•Spectrograms enable us to measure the durations of vowels and the frequencies of
their formants. By describing the formant
frequencies and how they change time, we can accurately describe the vowel sounds a person produces.
Spectrograms show this information and can be used to observe the timing
of each
event that occurs during speech.

locate the vowel

each vowel in English?
