John Wiley, 2008. — 555 p. When the book Digital Speech Transmission – Enhancement, Coding and Error Concealment by Peter Vary and Rainer Martin appeared in 2006, it was clear that a subject of this importance and this range could not be treated in all its details on 600-some pages. Important aspects had to be left out and had to be postponed to a succeeding volume. The...
Springer, 1991. — 376 p.

Important advances in algorithmic techniques for speech coding have recently emerged and excellent progress has been achieved in producing high quality speech at bit rates as low...
Springer, 2013. — 227 p. One of the main reasons for the complexity of spoken dialogue systems (SDSs) development constitutes the multi-domain and thus the multi-topic nature of reallife processes. If the application domain is not clearly defined collecting a corpus or establishing valid rules to control the dialogue flow of the SDS becomes a complex task. Within the framework...

Kluwer, 1990. — 454 p. Speech sound production is one of the most complex human activities: it is also one of the least well understood. This is perhaps not altogether surprising as many of the complex neurological and physiological processes involved in the generation and execution of a speech utterance remain relatively inaccessible to direct investigation, and must be inferred...

The authors focus on the excitation source component of speech for enhancement of language identification (LID) performance. Language specific features are extracted using two different modes: (i) Implicit processing of linear prediction (LP) residual and...
Kluwer, 1989. — 169 p. In order to perceive speech and other sounds, the incoming sound wave must be transformed into a variety of representations, each bringing forth different aspects of the signal, its source, and meaning. Understanding how we perceive and how machines can be made to perceive auditory signals means, in part, discovering appropriate representations for the...
IOS Press, 2006. — 389 p. That speech is a dynamic process strikes as a tautology: whether from the standpoint of the talker, the listener, or the engineer, speech is an action, a sound, or a signal continuously changing in time. Yet, because phonetics and speech science are offspring of classical phonology, speech has been viewed as a sequence of discrete events-positions of...
John Wiley, 2014. — 345 p. It might be safe to claim that 20 years ago, neither the term ‘computational paralinguistics’ nor the field it denotes existed. Some 10 years ago, the term did not yet exist either. However, in hindsight, the field had begun to exist if we think of the first steps towards the automatic processing of emotions in speech in the mid-1990s. For example,...
N.-Y.: CRC Press, 2013. — 705 p. This text is, in part, an outgrowth of graduate course on speech signal processing at the University of Texas at Dallas since the fall of 1999. The fact that no textbook existed at the time on speech enhancement, other than a few edited books suitable for the experts, made it difficult to teach the fundamental principles of speech enhancement in...

Springer, 2013. — 142 p. Speech is the most natural mode of communication and yet attempts to build systems which support robust habitable conversations between a human and a machine have so far had only limited success. A key reason is that current systems treat speech input as equivalent to a keyboard or mouse, and behaviour is controlled by pre-defined scripts that try to...

Newnes, 2011. — 381 p. Voice over IP (VoIP) in particular and Voice over Packet (VoP) in general have been advocated and studied since the mid 1970s. It was the advent of DSP technology for voice compression in the late 1980s and early 1990s that gave these services the impetus they needed to enter the mainstream. Commercial-grade technologies and services started to appear in...
CRC Press, 2010. — 381 p. It is becoming increasingly apparent that all forms of communication—including voice—will be transmitted through packet-switched networks based on the Internet Protocol (IP). Therefore, the design of modern devices that rely on speech interfaces, such as cell phones and PDAs, requires a complete and up-to-date understanding of the basics of speech coding....
Springer, 1997. — 306 p. The field of speech synthesis has secn a large increase in commercial applications in the last ten years.

John Wiley, 2002. — 407 p. Making machines speak like humans is a dream that is slowly coming to fruition. When the first automatic computer voices emerged from their laboratories twenty years ago, their robotic sound quality severely curtailed their general use. But now after a long period of maturation, synthetic speech is beginning to reach an initial level of acceptability....
Springer, 2012. — 136 p. During production of speech human beings impose durational constraints and intonation patterns on the sequence of sound units to convey the intended message. This inherent ability of the human beings in using the prosody (duration and intonation) knowledge is naturally acquired, and is difficult to articulate. But for synthesizing speech from a text by...
Kluwer, 2001. — 328 p. Modern speech synthesis began in the 1950s with the development of electronic formant synthesisers, such as PAT (Parametric Artificial Talker) designed by Walter Lawrence in the UK and OVE designed by Gunnar Fant in Sweden.

The project had many interesting points, for example: the need for a programming language for writing...
Kluwer, 2005. — 327 p. There is a serious problem in the recognition of sounds. It derives from the fact that they do not usually occur in isolation but in an environment in which a number of sound sources (voices, traffic, footsteps, music on the radio, and so on) are active at the same time. When these sounds arrive at the ear of the listener, the complex pressure waves...
Morgan & Claypool, 2006. — 118 p. Speech dynamics refer to the temporal characteristics in all stages of the human speech communication process.

Kluwer, 1987. — 278 p. It is well-known that phonemes have different acoustic realizations depending on the context. Thus, for example, the phoneme /t/ is typically realized with a heavily aspirated strong burst at beginning of a syllable as in the word Tom, but without a burst at the end of a syllable in a like cat. Variation such as this is often considered to be problematic...

This book is devoted to the study of the problem of speech enhancement whose objective is the recovery of a signal of interest (i.e., speech) from noisy observations. Typically, the recovery process is accomplished by passing the noisy observations through a linear filter (or a linear transformation). Since both the desired speech and undesired...
Springer, 2005. — 415 p. We live in a noisy world! In all applications (telecommunications, hands-free communications, recording, human-machine interfaces, etc) that require at least one microphone, the signal of interest is usually contaminated by background noise and reverberation. As a result, the microphone signal has to be "cleaned" with digital signal processing tools...
