Hello, I need to know how to get pitch-synchronous speech frames from a speech signal i.e. speech signal is divided into overlapping frames where each frame is two pitch periods long and centered around the current pitch mark. Can anyone give me an idea how to implement this (using Matlab)? Thanks.

Hi, I was searching for any other parameter used other than Pitch that is used to extract information about the user. For my task of categorization on the basis of ages from speech, use of pitch does not seem to work as it does not give any distinct thresholds for ages.

Hi, i need snr comparision of lpc-10 and voice-excited LPC (VELP) to show that velp is better as compared to lpc. and why in velp synthesizer, we must use DCT+noise and don't use pitch computation? by computing the pitch so we can determine whether the input speech frame is voiced or unvoiced, if we don't use pitch in synthesizer, is DCT can determine input speech voiced or unvoiced?! c...

Hi All, I was wondering as to how the harmonic noise shaping filter improves the performance of the G.723.1 codec. Does it like improve the pitch harmonic structure as well and if so are the improvements restricted to a specific set of pitch harmonics? Moreover why does this filter have a transfer function which is the inverse of the long term prediction filter? I would be really grateful ...

Ladies & Gentlemen I encountered the problem of transmission of music by MELP codec. MELP is intended for coding human speech, so it is not surprising that the quality of the music synthesized by MELP is very low. One of the problems is failure of the pitch detector to recognize pitch-doubling/tripling in music. I think that transmission of phase

About ITUT G729, I have two questions. 1. In the processing section of G729 spec, it says to apply a high pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 140 Hz. As we know, the range of pitch is between 55 and 400 Hz. Then, how to search the pitch with frequency below 140Hz with such a preprocessing algo? It is as fetching the moon from sea. 2. G729 preprocessing section uses a second order pole/ze...
