Fairbanks' speech time-adjusting device has been simulated, using a hybrid computer. This device discards or repeats recorded speech segments to compress or expand the time dimension. A dichotic method for time compression of speech was investigated in which odd-numbered time segments were presented to one ear and even-numbered segments to the other ear. A preference test suggested that speech compressed with the dichotic method may be more intelligible than speech compressed with Fairbanks' method. Potential applications for time-adjusted speech and possibilities for further research are suggested.
