Speech Coding Techniques

Speech coding has been major issue in the area of digital speech processing. Speech coding is the process of transforming the speech signal in a more compressed form, which can then be transmitted with few numbers of binary digits. It is not possible to access unlimited bandwidth of a channel each time we send a signal across it which leads to code and compress speech signals. Speech compression is applied in long distance communication, high-class speech storage, and message encryption. Speech coding is a lossy type of coding and hence the output signal does not exactly sound like the input. Speech coding techniques discussed here are Linear predictive coding, waveform coding, Code excited linear predictive coding, etc. Linear Predictive Coding and Code Excited Linear Predictive Coding techniques are studied with the help of MATLAB to check their performance measures like compression ratio and speech audible quality.
