Kijrary: Speech Processing

This document discusses various topics in speech processing including: 1. It explains the speech production mechanism and acoustic phonetic classification with examples. 2. It discusses short time energy, average magnitude, zero crossing rate, and autocorrelation function which are used in speech processing. 3. It describes algorithms to discriminate between speech and silence using energy and zero crossings. It also explains pitch period estimation techniques. 4. It provides explanatory notes on speech enhancement, synthesis, and the differences between time and frequency domain speech processing.
