Theory and Applications of Digital Speech Processing
"Even after more than 30 years the 1978 textbook by Rabiner and Schafer still remains   as one of the most comprehensive for teaching a one-semester graduate-level speech   processing course. The new book manages to top that and is definitely representing an   improvement over the old one. It doubles the content of the must-have classic, adds   many new technology developments in recent years, and expands the application areas   which have seen a tremendous growth in the last two decades. The inclusion of   additional problems and MATLAB exercises along with real-world speech samples   also facilitates convenient stepping stone for designing in-depth class projects. The   intended course [Website] will contain demos, illustrations, and speech examples.   Such a set of extra information is ideal for demonstrating key processing concepts. It   will add good values to the already-appealing textbook." — Chin Hui-Lee, Georgia Institute of Technology"The book is a thorough and detailed treatment of all aspects of digital speech   processing from the fundamentals through a wide variety of applications. The   authors are arguably the most influential researchers and expositors in the field,   having been pioneers in its early development and remained active through their   long and productive careers. The table of contents includes all of the major   threads of the field, from the most basic elements through the most recent   improvements." — Robert M. Gray, Stanford University"The authors use a very clear  writing style. They express the complex ideas in well organized, appropriate and unambiguous manner that is important to students." — Veton Këpuska, Florida Institute of Technology"The inclusion of a large set of 217 problems is probably the most extensive. In addition the MATLAB exercises also make it easy for teaching and learning the practical aspects of speech   processing."  — Chin Hui-Lee, Georgia Institute of Technology
