ℹ How to read these plots
- What is plotted
- Each plot shows how spectral energy is distributed across the 0–3000 Hz range for a given consonant syllable.
- Normalized probability
- Y-axis normalized so total area = 1. Removes loudness differences between speakers, allowing shape comparison across consonants.
- Centroid ■
- Centre of gravity of the spectrum. Higher = brighter sound. Velars (क) tend lower; palatals (च) higher.
- Rolloff 95% ■
- Frequency below which 95% of energy lies. Useful for confirming Pāṇinian place-of-articulation categories.
- Mean view
- Green line — average across all 4 voices (Kannada ♀♂, Telugu ♀♂). Shows consonant's intrinsic spectral shape.
- Full view
- All 4 individual voice curves plus the green mean. Shows consistency across voices.
- WAV chips kn♀ te♂
- Click to play inline audio. kn = Kannada, te = Telugu. ♀ = female, ♂ = male (Google Cloud Wavenet/Standard).
- Svara tabs
- Switch between vowel contexts (अ, इ, उ). इ/उ grids are sparse — only column-1 consonants of each varga have data so far.
Svara:
अ (a)
इ (i)
उ (u)
ए (e)
ओ (o)
