Additional texts on speech recognition or audio
If you have difficulties with a presentation in Huang, Acero, and Hon, the simplest method is to simply ask me to explain it during office hours. If you so choose, you might want to consult another text. Here are a few relevant texts:- Speech and Language Processing, Jurafsky & Martin, 2009.
- Digital Speech Processing, Synthesis, and Recognition, Second edition, Furui, 2000.
- Fundamentals of Speech Recognition, Rabiner and Juang, 1993.
- Speech Communications: Human and Machine, Second edition, O'Shaughnessy, 2000.
- Statistical Methods for Speech Recognition, Jelinek, 1998.
- The following texts are not on speech recognition, but offer accesible
presentations to relevant material:
- The Science of Musical Sounds, Sundberg, 1991.
- Fundamentals of Hearing, Third edition, Yost, 1994.
- Signals and Systems Made Ridiculously Simple, Karu, 1994.
- A Course in Phonetics, Ladefoged, Heinle & Heinle, 2001. Ladefoged has nice point and click to listen chart of the IPA vowels and consonants.
