ABSTRACT:
A speech coder apparatus operates to compress speech signals to a low bit rate. The apparatus includes a continuous speech recognizer (CSR) which has a memory for storing templates. Input speech is processed by the CSR where information in the speech is compared against the templates to provide an output digital signal indicative of recognized words, which signal is transmitted along a first path. There is further included a front end processor which is also responsive to the input speech signal for providing output digitized speech samples during a given frame interval. A side information encoder circuit responds to the output from the front end processor to provide at the output of the encoder a parameter signal indicative of the value of the pitch and word duration for each word as recognized by the CSR unit. The output of the encoder is transmitted as a second signal. There is a receiver which includes a synthesizer responsive to the first and second transmitted signals for providing an output synthesized signal for each recognized word where the pitch, duration and amplitude of the synthesized signal is changed according to the parameter signal to preserve the quality of the synthesized speech.
