SPEECH PROCESSING

'Speech processing' is the study of speech signals and the processing methods of these signals.
The signals are usually processed in a digital representation whereby speech processing can be seen as the intersection of digital signal processing and natural language processing.
Speech processing can be divided in the following categories:

★ Speech recognition, which deals with analysis of the linguistic content of a speech signal.

★ Speaker recognition, where the aim is to recognize the identity of the speaker.

★ Enhancement of speech signals, e.g. audio noise reduction,

★ Speech coding, a specialized form of data compression, is important in the telecommunication area.

★ Voice analysis for medical purposes, such as analysis of vocal loading and dysfunction of the vocal cords.

★ Speech synthesis: the artificial synthesis of speech, which usually means computer generated speech.

★ Speech enhancement: enhancing the perceptual quality of speech signal by removing the destructive effects of noise, limited capacity recording equipment, impairments, etc.
