The purpose of this text is to teach speech analysis and synthesis via computer interaction. It provides a means to study the features and properties of speech as a signal without having to record data and write software to analyze the data. An extensive speech database is provided on the accompanying CD-ROMs along with various software programs to analyze the data, including a run-time version of MATLAB which allows the data to be used without purchasing MATLAB separately. The text also provides the theoretical basis of the underlying software algorithms used for speech analysis and...
