Digital Speech Processing

• Principal characteristics of speech; speech production models; speech analysis and analysis-synthesis systems; linear predictive coding (LPC) analysis; speech coding; speech synthesis; speech recognition; future directions of speech processing. Appendices: convolution and z-transform; vector quantization algorithm; neural nests.

". . .provides a solid introduction to the basics of digital signal processing for speech and provides a comprehensive overview of classic recognition techniques. It would be ideal as a primary textbook."---The Canadian Journal of Information Science
