ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for acoustic signal processing of speech recognition, the method comprising the following components: 1) Decompose each syllable into two phonemes of comparable length and complexity, the first one being a preme, and the second one being a toneme; 2) Each toneme is assigned a tone value such as high, rising, low, falling, and untoned; 3) No tone value is assigned to premes; 4) Pitch is detected continuously and treated the same way as energy and cepstrals in a Hidden Markov Model to predict the tone of a toneme; 5) The tone of a syllable is defined as the tone of its component toneme.
