Hi All -
I am trying to make a simple speech recognition program. I have samples of
spoken words saved as .wav files that I am importing into Matlab in order to
obtain the sequence of floating-point values that make it up. (I will then
perform LPC on these values ...) When I import the .wav files in Matlab,
the data matrix consists of two columns of several different values. I am
confused as to why there are two columns. In order to get simply the
time-domain values, can I take just the first column or do I need to combine
the two?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much,
Gina Upperman

Hello,

Is it a mono or stereo signal? If it's a stereo signal, you will have a
two column matrix of course, each column represents either the left or
the right channel.

What is a LPC?

Regards

Carsten

You get two columns because you're reading an stereo sound. You can
average by rows, and you'll have the equivalent mono signal, or take
just one of the channels, whatever makes more sense for your
application.

I reckon thats a stereo recorded wav file !!
