Speech recognition and enhancement technology can be utilized in several ways - biometrics, artificial speech production, speech to text and text to speech translation, and speech coding for telecommunications. This field is always evolving, and new developments are emerging all the time.
This book describes some of the latest advances and perspectives in speech recognition and enhancement technology. Subjects covered are wide-ranging and include speech recognition and enhancement in noisy environments; an AAM-based automatic lip reading technique; speaker recognition and diarization; voice conversion techniques (e.g. for hiding identities or creating personalized voices in gaming); and automatic speech recognition for agglutinative languages such as Tamil. The book will also discuss some of the ways in which speech technology can be used to aid language learning.
This book will provide a fascinating, in-depth overview of current developments and thinking in speech recognition/enhancement for students, researchers and practitioners in all relevant disciplines, including IT development, education and biometrics.
