Ronald W. Schafer Book order (chronological)

Clear, up-to-date, and hands-on coverage of digital speech processing. This new textpresents the basic concepts and theories of speech processing with clarity and currency, while providing hands-on computer-based laboratory experiences for students. The material is organized in a manner that builds a strong foundation of basics first, and then concentrates on a range of signal processing methods for representing and processing the speech signal. KEY TOPICS: Every chapter provides insights into the theory, concepts, and implementations of a range of short-time signal processing methods, and their utilization in realizing speech algorithms and speech applications. MARKET: Suitable for practicing engineers in speech processing.

Presents the knowledge necessary for an appreciation of the wide scope of applications for discrete-time signal processing and a foundation for contributing to future developments in this technology. DLC: Signal processing--Mathematics.

The material in this book is intended as a one-semester course in speech processing. The purpose of this text is to show how digital signal processing techniques can be applied to problems related to speech communication. The book gives an extensive description of the physical basis for speech coding including fourier analysis, digital representation and digital and time domain models of the wave form. It goes on to discuss homomorphic speech processing, linear predictive coding and digital processing for machine communication by voice.
