Speech Signal Processing

Seema Nayak, Muazzam Laiq

Abstract


In this article we discussed one of the most intricate and fascinating signals ever to be studied, human speech.  Speech synthesis is the artificial generation of understandable and (hopefully) natural-sounding speech. If coupled with a set of rules for reading text, rules that in some languages are simple but in others quite complex, we get text-to-speech conversion. We introduce the reader to speech modelling by means of a naive, but functional, speech synthesis system. Speech recognition, also called speech-to-text conversion
