The ACO algorithm, inspired by ant behavior, is used to optimize codebooks in speech processing. This study focuses on compressing speech signals efficiently to reduce bandwidth usage. Vector Quantization, a block coding technique, is employed, utilizing codebooks generated by the Linde-Buzo-Gray (LBG) algorithm. The ACO algorithm is proposed as an optimization method for these codebooks, aiming to minimize spectral distortion. Results show that ACO-optimized codebooks reduce spectral distortion.
