Description
Recent years have seen the transfer of speech technology from the research laboratory to the market place. A variety of commercial speech products is now available for speech synthesis, automatic speech recognition and speech coding (bandwidth compression). Providing an introduction to the rapidly developing area of speech technology, this book covers the entire spectrum of speech technology, ranging from speech analysis and speech synthesis through to automatic speech recognition and speech coding. The emphasis is mainly on the signal processing aspects of speech and the treatment is primarily descriptive and illustrative, with the mathematical content being kept to a minimum.
