ABSTRACT:
A speech signal divided into frames, each frame having a sound type, and a class is determined for each frame depending on the sound type of the frame. One of multiple filters is selected for each frame depending on the class of the frame. Each frame is filtered according to the filter selected, and the filtered frames combined to provide a filtered speech signal. The system includes filters and software.
