Product Description
Speech and music are the most basic means of adult human communication. As technology advances and increasingly sophisticated tools become available to use with speech and music signals, scientists can study these sounds more effectively, and invent new ways of applying them for the benefit of humankind. This book includes coverage of the physiology and psychoacoustics of hearing as well as the results from research on pitch and speech perception, vocoding methods and information on many aspects of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. The authors have made use of their own research in these fields, as well as the methods and results of many other contributors.
Reader ReviewsThe basic purpose of this book is to understand sound well enough to be able to perform speech recognition, but it also contains a lot of material relevant to music recognition and synthesis. By some quirk of international pricing, the price of this book in the UK is about half what it is in the USA, so it may be worth your while checking out UK online bookstores such as amazon.co.uk or the UK branch of bol.com for this one.
