The fundamental mode of communication among humans is speech and in the case of machine-human interface; verbal language has been believed as the natural method. When communication with machines is carried out, it is very difficult and slow-moving in magnitude when realized via keyboards, mouses and other devices. Thus, speech feed-in is an important constituent to making this communication easily accessible. Also, humans see speech as a great source of information. Therefore, persons who are not literate or have vague about computers can easily access computers by employing speech instructions. Even people with some physical disability who are not able to type or click with their hands can use their speech to operate the computer. Even people who are proficient in operating computers can speed up data entry, sending emails and other documents using the speech input methods. Furthermore, this mode of operation possesses many advantages. For example, while driving, the hands of the driver are busy steering the driving wheel and he cannot type on his mobile. In such a case speech is a good input option. GPS (Global Positioning System) is an example of a speech-based system being used. Another example is speech-enabled dialing, where the user can just ask the device to call a particular person, without dialing his number.The common and efficient means of communication among humans is through 'speech'. To process speech means to extract useful information from it, processing includes the implementation of electric signals on the acoustic pressure waves collected from human vocalization and applying mathematical analysis to it. The field of processing speech involves the natural operation of analysing speech, coding, augmentation, synthesis, and recognition. Analysis of speech is the study of its creation mechanism to make a mathematical model of physical phenomena. Speech coding aims to keep information about specific speech parameters for later retrieval. The method of refining precision and quality of speech which is noisy utilises various algorithms is recognized as speech enhancement [2]. Producing artificial human speech using coded information is known as the synthesis of speech. The method of inverse synthesis is the capability of a program or machine to classify the linguistic contents mixed up in the speech signal.

On a learning curve when setting up or upgrading your Home Entertainment AVR and/or Hi-Fi system, and/or Sudio Recording system? When trying to work out the why, the what, the how of acoustics, audio devices and setup options? I answer these questions by integrating all the parts into one holistic system. Once you see the system, you will be able to think your way through how you want to do things. This book is to help you understand the system, so you can discover your own remarkable listening and production experiences. I include DIY acoustic treatment instruction, a reasonable budget approach, yet not sacrificing the aim of emotional connection to audio, nor the ability to record and produce professional level audio. Practically written, focussing on modern methods and technologies as they are in 2024: home recording setups, lounge listening options, mobile options, online integration, home entertainment, and software.

It has been known for over fifty years that loudspeaker systems and individual drivers suffer from Time-Frequency Distortion: different frequencies pass thorough a loudspeaker at different rates. This causes smearing of starting transients and temporal disconnection of fundamentals and their related harmonics. This book describes an effective method of reducing Time-Frequency Distortion causing major improvements in Stereo Imaging, Detail Resolution, Realism and Depth of Field.

Microsoft Word's advanced search features are extremely powerful, but they're also virtually undocumented; most explanations of their use have been limited to a simple table of wildcards. This book explains in detail how you can use these powerful tools to blaze through repetitive problems that would take hours to correct by hand. It covers all aspects of finding and replacing in Microsoft Word and provides includes numerous examples using real-world documents. Jack Lyon writes, "Although I write and sell Microsoft Word macros for a living, the tools I depend on most are the advanced features of Word's find and replace. Learning to use these tools takes time and effort, but the payoff is huge. I hope this book will help you understand how powerful Word's advanced search features can be."

This edited book presents the state of the art in voice biometrics research and technologies including implementation and deployment challenges in terms of interoperability, scalability and performance, and security.

The computational approach of this book is aimed at simulating the human ability to understand various kinds of phrases with a novel metaphoric component. That is, interpretations of metaphor as literal paraphrases are based on literal meanings of the metaphorically used words. This method distinguishes itself from statistical approaches, which in general do not account for novel usages, and from efforts directed at metaphor constrained to one type of phrase or to a single topic domain. The more interesting and novel metaphors appear to be based on concepts generally represented as nouns, since such concepts can be understood from a variety of perspectives. The core of the process of interpreting nominal concepts is to represent them in such a way that readers or hearers can infer which aspect(s) of the nominal concept is likely to be intended to be applied to its interpretation. These aspects are defined in terms of verbal and adjectival predicates. A section on the representation and processing of part-sentence verbal metaphor will therefore also serve as preparation for the representation of salient aspects of metaphorically used nouns. As the ability to process metaphorically used verbs and nouns facilitates the interpretation of more complex tropes, computational analysis of two other kinds of metaphorically based expressions are outlined: metaphoric compound nouns, such as "e;idea factory"e; and, together with the representation of inferences, modified metaphoric idioms, such as "e;Put the cat back into the bag"e;.
