The book presents the history of time-domain representation and the
extent of its development along with that of spectral domain
representation in the cognitive and technology domains. It discusses all
the cognitive experiments related to this development, along with
details of technological developments related to both automatic speech
recognition (ASR) and text to speech synthesis (TTS), and introduces a
viable time-domain representation for both objective and subjective
analysis, as an alternative to the well-known spectral representation.
The book also includes a new cohort study on the use of lexical
knowledge in ASR.
India has numerous official dialects, and spoken-language technology
development is a burgeoning area. In fact TTS and ASR taken together
constitute the most important technology for empowering people. As such,
the book describes time domain representation in such a way that it can
be easily and seamlessly incorporated into ASR and TTS research and
development. In short, it is a valuable guidebook for the development of
ASR and TTS in all the Indian Standard Dialects using signal domain
parameters.
