Abstract

A PC-based real-time digital speech processing system is designed. Speech synthesis, analysis, storage and retrieval are implemented in the system with intelligent telephone functions. Speech data are stored on floppy disk and easy to retrieve. Though floppy disk is slow in speed, real-time processing is achieved with low bit rate coding. The computer gets speech data from a digital speech processing unit or send data to it through a synchronous seiial communication port. The analog input of digital speech processing unit can be selected from the telephone line or the microphone, and output of the digital speech processing unit can be sent to the earphone or telephone line. The software resides in the PC RAM,1. It is activated by hot-key combination or the ring detect signal. The possibility of speedy playback without change of pitch and intonation is also discussed in this thesis.
