ABSTRACT:
There are provided short term enhancement methods and systems to improve perceptual quality in reproduced speech. According to one aspect, a method of enhancing a speech signal includes processing said speech signal to generate a plurality of frames, wherein each of said plurality frames includes a plurality of subframes, coding a previous subframe of said plurality of subframes using Code-Excited Linear Prediction to generate a previous excitation signal, and applying short term enhancement on said previous excitation signal to enhance a current excitation signal for a current subframe.
