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.\n* Speaker recognition, where the aim is to recognise the identity of the speaker.\n* Enhancement of speech signals, e.g. Noise reduction, \n* Speech coding for compression and transmission of speech. See also Telecommunication.\n* Voice analysis for medical purposes, such as analysis of vocal loading and dysfunction of the vocal cords.\n* speech synthesis: the artificial synthesis of speech, which usually means computer generated speech.
