Speech Processing

This document outlines the units of study in an audio and speech processing course. The units cover topics such as speech production and perception, spectral analysis of speech, speech synthesis, transformations and coding, and audio processing. Specific techniques discussed include linear predictive coding (LPC) analysis, pitch extraction algorithms, homomorphic speech processing, time scale modification, and audio coding standards. The course aims to present both theoretical foundations and practical applications in areas like speech and speaker recognition systems. Recommended textbooks provide further information on digital speech signal processing, psychoacoustics, and music production.
