Robust Speech Recognition in Noisy and Reverberant Environments

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 75))

Abstract

A method of digital speech signal processing is introduced to reduce the reverberation of rooms as well as noise. The ability of this method is shown additive to improve speech recognition in such situations.
