ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for speech analysis and synthesis adapted for analyzing and multiplexing speech signals from a plurality of voice grade telephone lines for further transmission through a single voice grade telephone line. A plurality of specialized digital signal processing techniques are employed to analyze in real time four speech channels in parallel and multiplex speech frame parameters of the channels into a single data output channel for transmission through a suitable media. The received data channel is demultiplexed and the speech frame parameters for the individual channels are utilized to synthesize, in parallel, the four speech signals. Certain of the digital processing techniques utilize the characteristics of speech signals to truncate conventional signal processing time while other processing techniques are substantially statistical analyses of speech to resolve ambiguities, particularly in making the voiced/unvoiced decision for a frame of analyzed speech data.
