Speech Signal Processing and Feature Extraction

Speech signal processing and feature extraction is the initial stage of any speech recognition system; it is through this component that the system views the speech signal itself. This chapter introduces general approaches to signal processing and feature extraction and surveys the techniques currently available in these areas.
