Introduction To Speech Coding What, Why, Where & How (First Part)

This document provides an introduction to speech coding, including what it is, its applications, and some key principles. Speech coding aims to compactly represent speech signals for efficient transmission or storage using the minimum number of bits while maintaining quality. It allows transmitting speech at the highest quality using the least channel capacity. Major applications include wireline telephony, videoconferencing, digital cellular, IP telephony, and voice mail. Standards are set by organizations like ITU, ETSI, ISO, and TIA. Characteristics of speech signals that are important for coding include the probability density function, autocorrelation function, and power spectral density.

What is Speech Coding ?
 Speech coding is concerned with compact digital representations of

speech signals for efficient transmission or storage.

 The objective is to represent a signal with a minimum number of bits while

maintaining perceptual quality.

 Current applications for speech and audio coding algorithms include cellular

and personal communications networks (PCNs), teleconferencing, multi-

media systems, and secure communications.

 speech coding systems is to transmit speech with the highest possible


quality using the least possible channel capacity.
 To save bandwidth in telecoms applications and to reduce memory storage
requirements.

density of speech makes it possible to obtain
significant compression by coding speech in the
frequency domain.
