Speech Processing has rapidly emerged as one of the most widespread and
well-understood application areas in the broader discipline of Digital
Signal Processing. Besides the telecommunications applications that have
hitherto been the largest users of speech processing algorithms, several
non-traditional embedded processor applications are enhancing their
functionality and user interfaces by utilizing various aspects of speech
processing.
"Speech Processing in Embedded Systems" describes several areas of
speech processing, and the various algorithms and industry standards
that address each of these areas. The topics covered include different
types of Speech Compression, Echo Cancellation, Noise Suppression,
Speech Recognition and Speech Synthesis. In addition this book explores
various issues and considerations related to efficient implementation of
these algorithms on real-time embedded systems, including the role
played by processor CPU and peripheral functionality.
