  • Method and apparatus for speech recognition and reproduction
    Patent number: 4415767
    Abstract: Speech signal analysis for data reduction, as stored for synthesis or recognition, is improved by features including: digital spectral analysis; reduction of channel data and bit allocation by selective summation of groups of contiguous data; using the mean average of the log amplitude to find the deviation for each channel; also using the instaneous shape of the mean value for each channel for pairs of adjacent frames, all combined to find a feature ensemble for each pair of adjacent frames.
