DESCRIPTION:
About the Author Robert D. He holds a Ph.D. Rodman is the author or co-author of three books, including Voice Recognition (Artech House, 1997, 0-89006-927-1). Rodman is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at North Carolina State University. Dr. in linguistics from UCLA.
The text's intuitive approach uses illustrations, analogies, and both historical and state-of-the-art descriptions to explain relatively complex concepts. Offers a non-technical overview of all the major areas in the computer processing of human speech: speech recognition; speech synthesis; speaker recognition; language identification, lip synchronisation; and co-channel separation. Specifically, it helps the reader learn the professional jargon used in different areas of speech processing, evaluate speech processing systems for specific applications, understand how the various technologies of speech processing actually work, identify practical applications for speech technology in the commercial world, and relate speech technology to actual spoken language.
Sean A. Fulop said Not worth the money. I tried to use this book for a survey course on computer speech technology, but I couldn't rely on it for much. My students cursed me for making them waste their money on this book. It doesn't talk about the material at a sufficiently high level or with enough detail to satisfy even non-mathematical college students seeking a general overview. One wonders who the intended audience is? The p. "Computer Speech Technology - A great way to start" according to COL James D. Bass, Ph.D.. If you are not into FFT's and HMM's, but are interested in a slightly less mathematical explanation of Automatic Speech Recognition, this is for you. Interesting, and an easy read, watch out though, the next book you get will go math on you fast. This is a great book for non-engineers. You will eveltually out-grow its simple explanations - but that does not make a poor source. The book does
