Discrete-Time Processing of Speech Signals Ieee Press Classic Reissue: Amazon.co.uk: John R. Deller Jr., John H. L. Hansen, John G. Proakis: Books

Product Description

Commercial applications of speech processing and recognition are fast becoming a growth industry that will shape the next decade. Now students and practicing engineers of signal processing can find in a single volume the fundamentals essential to understanding this rapidly developing field. IEEE Press is pleased to publish a classic reissue of Discrete–Time Processing of Speech Signals. Specially featured in this reissue is the addition of valuable World Wide Web links to the latest speech data references.

This landmark book offers a balanced discussion of both the mathematical theory of digital speech signal processing and critical contemporary applications. The authors provide a comprehensive view of all major modern speech processing areas: speech production physiology and modeling, signal analysis techniques, coding, enhancement, quality assessment, and recognition. You will learn the principles needed to understand advanced technologies in speech processing –– from speech coding for communications systems to biomedical applications of speech analysis and recognition.

Ideal for self–study or as a course text, this far–reaching reference book offers an extensive historical context for concepts under discussion, end–of–chapter problems, and practical algorithms. Discrete–Time Processing of Speech Signals is the definitive resource for students, engineers, and scientists in the speech processing field.

An Instructor′s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available upon request from the Wiley Makerting Department.

The best comprehensive overview of speech processing 2 Mar 2001

By Optimistix - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I've seen a lot of books on Speech processing, but this one's the best by quite some margin. Rabiner & Schafer's classic could've edged this one out, but it's slightly dated now(1978 was a long time ago!) - it remains a great source for the fundamentals, though. However, this book is uptodate, as well as quite exhaustive in its coverage of the basics. One can get a solid grasp of basic speech processing(eg pitch analysis), synthesis, compression and recognition. The chapters on recognition, especially, are quite impressive,with detailed treatment of all the standard techniques in the field,including Dynamic time warping,Hidden Markov models & Neural networks. Everything from isolated word recognition to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition is touched upon.

This book is an ideal starting point for exploring the world of speech processing,which is a very rich area of research and has virtually limitless commercial applications,too.

A word of caution though - this is not for the layman.One requires a bit of a background in mathematics,and a little knowledge of digital signal processing won't hurt either.

I have only nice things to say about this book.The only possible crib could be the hefty price tag,but then this is typical of books in this field.

All in all,it's an excellent textbook,which ought to be read by everyone working in speech processing.

Great Conceptual Reference 20 July 2004

By Sepideh Baghaii - Published on Amazon.com

This book covers many aspects of speech signal processing. In doing so, it is a great conceptual primer, but people with specific interests in one aspect or other of speech signal processing may look into other books. I have found it very valuable in clarifying certain concepts and an essential reference for my thesis. Some readers may find this book frustrating in some aspects because they are not familiar with the background of certain topics. It is often best to reread the conceptual portion of those chapters and look for other resources that explain the details of those topics in a more tangible language.

Good overview 28 Nov 2001

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This is an attempt to cover many aspects of speech processing, including modeling, coding, synthesis, enhancement, and recognition. Since each of the mentioned areas is a thick book on its own, the present book does not and cannot provide in depth coverage. I like some stories told in the book, like the development of the mechanical vocoder. But I find it to be wordy and in many instances, somehow impractical, like the exagerated mathematical treatment of the acoustic tube model. Also, the mathematical notations tend to be awkward. Due to technological advances, many topics contained in this book are already outdated.
