Speech Processing (Essex Series in Telecommunications & Information Systems) - Hardcover

The aim of this book is to give an appreciation of the nature of the speech signal and of modern methods for coding speech for transmission and storage. The use of speech as a man-machine interface is explored by describing the synthesis and automatic recognition of speech by computers. "Speech Processing" is designed for design and development engineers, and technical managers who need a knowledge of modern speech processing techniques. Some familiarity with elementary filter theory and signal processing techniques is an advantage.
