A survey of digital speech processing techniques
Ronald W. Schafer · IEEE Transactions on Audio and Electroacoustics · 1972
Digital signal processing techniques are becoming increasingly important in speech analysis and synthesis. These techniques can be implemented using a general purpose computer facility (often not in real time), or special purpose hardware realizations can be constructed. This paper discusses some recent work in speech processing including design of digital filter bank spectrum analyzers, homorphic analyzers of speech, predictive coding, and hardware realization of a digital formant synthesizer. The survey concentrates on those speech processing techniques relevant to the development of sensory aids for the deaf.
