Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall decent book, November 12, 2001

By A Customer

Good introduction to various speech processing techniques. Attempts were made to cover very broad areas such as speech synthesis, coding, and recognition; which obviously cannot be done in a single volume. The serious readers looking to specialize in any of the mentioned areas must find other sources for more thorough info. Also note that many materials in the book are already outdated due to rapid technological advances.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best speech processing book out there!, June 22, 2000

By	Eugene Grinberg (Cooper Union, NYC) - See all my reviews

I am currently doing research for a speech processing project, and as I went through a good number of books, I was not able to find a more complete and technical source as Digital Processing of Speech Signals. In my opinion, the book has a perfect combination of theory and practice when presenting both time-domain and frequency-domain algorithms for speech analysis and synthesis. I originally borrowed this book from a library, but now I am getting my own. It is a must-have classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece in Engineering, April 18, 2001

By	Rajesh Kumar Venugopal (Syracuse,Ny) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the book to have on your shelf if you are a serious about speech processing. The authors give a through treatment to the fundamental issues involved in speech processing. This outstanding work of two leaders in DSP and Speech processing, will help you to get started with the fascinating subject of speech processing. The issues covered in the book are still relevant today as it was back in 1970's. Though a bit dated this work is a classic.
