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.

This book includes peer-reviewed articles from the 12th International Workshop on Spoken Dialogue System Technology, IWSDS 2021, Singapore. Nowadays, dialogue systems or conversational agents have become one of the most important mechanisms for human-computer or human-robot interaction that has been widely adopted as new paradigm for many applications, companies, and final users. On the other hand, recent advances in natural language processing, understanding and generation, as well as a continuous increasing computational power and large number of resources and data, have brought important and consistent improvements to the capabilities of dialogue systems enabling users to have more productive and enjoyable interactions. However, on the threshold of a new decade, the current state of the art shows important areas where improvements are needed such as incorporation of ground-based knowledge, personality, emotions, and adaptability, as well as automatic mechanisms for objective, robust and fast evaluations, especially in the context of developing social and e-health applications. In this 12th edition of the International Workshop on Spoken Dialogue Systems (IWSDS), "e;Conversational AI for natural human-centric interaction"e; compiles and presents a synopsis on current global research efforts to push forward the state of the art in dialogue technologies, including advances to the classical problems of dialogue management, language generation and understanding, personalisation and generation, spokena and multimodal interaction, dialogue evaluation, dialogue modelling and applications, as well as topics related to chatbots and conversational agent technologies.

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.

Text-to-speech (TTS) aims to synthesize intelligible and natural speech based on the given text. It is a hot topic in language, speech, and machine learning research and has broad applications in industry. This book introduces neural network-based TTS in the era of deep learning, aiming to provide a good understanding of neural TTS, current research and applications, and the future research trend.This book first introduces the history of TTS technologies and overviews neural TTS, and provides preliminary knowledge on language and speech processing, neural networks and deep learning, and deep generative models. It then introduces neural TTS from the perspective of key components (text analyses, acoustic models, vocoders, and end-to-end models) and advanced topics (expressive and controllable, robust, model-efficient, and data-efficient TTS). It also points some future research directions and collects some resources related to TTS.This book is the first to introduceneural TTS in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand way and can serve both academic researchers and industry practitioners working on TTS.

This is the third volume of an organic educational system that includes an extensive online component consisting of hundreds of interactive sound examples, videos, theory and practice glossaries, tests, programs written in Max, a Max object library created specifically for these volumes, and many practical activities (often with Gen and Jitter). TOPICSReverberation and creative uses of reverb - Spatialization with two or more channels - AM, RM, SSB, FM, and PM - Nonlinear distortion - Wave terrain synthesis - Split synthesis - Granular and particle synthesis - Granulation and segmentation of sampled sounds - Vocoder - Analysis and resynthesis - Cross-synthesis - Convolution - Jitter for audio - Gen programming "There is no shortage of books in the world that seek to demonstrate the erudition of their authors. It is harder, however, to find books that focus on the readers - taking them on a journey that will ultimately change them. The books by Cipriani and Giri belong to this rare category: they are books that explain. (...) The third volume of Electronic Music and Sound Design is a kaleidoscopic catalog of ideas and applications for analyzing, synthesizing, and transforming signals in a wide variety of ways. (...) Cipriani and Giri succeed in addressing everyone without weakening the theoretical basis and without unnecessary specializations - achieving a masterful balance of comprehensibility, functionality, and breadth."
