This book presents a systematic approach to the automatic recognition of simultaneous speech signals using computational auditory scene analysis. Inspired by human auditory perception, this book investigates a range of algorithms and techniques for decomposing multiple speech signals by integrating a spectro-temporal fragment decoder within a statistical search process. The outcome is a comprehensive insight into the mechanisms required if automatic speech recognition is to approach human levels of performance.

... this voice because it was the basis for the synthesiser used by Professor Stephen Hawking.5 The experience with Hearsay II and similar projects had demonstrated how difficult it is to write rules to emulate human speech recognition.
Usually, for a humanoid and humanlike robots, the response is either spoken and gestural or both. For simulating spoken responses, the computer uses a synthesizer that converts the text to speech (TTS) emulating human sound.
The last few decades have witnessed tremendous progress in the performance, reliability, and wide-spread use of speech-processing devices. Using mathematical models of human speech production and perception has been an important factor ...
The techniques for achieving the lengthening or shortening of the synthesized signal depend on the synthesis method used, and are described in the following sections. 5.4 SYNTHESIS BY CONCATENATING VOCODED SUB-WORD UNITS Vocoder ...
