SPEECH ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A speech enhancement system, comprising:
- a first device that converts sound waves into operational signals; and
A second device that selects one or more templates that represent spectral shapes and excitation pulses;
where the selected template models speech characteristics common to the operational signals through a speech codebook that further accessed in a communication channel.

Abstract
A speech enhancement system improves speech conversion within an encoder and decoder. The system includes a first device that converts sound waves into operational signals. A second device selects a template that represents an expected signal model. The selected template models speech characteristics of the operational signals through a speech codebook that is further accessed in a communication channel.

18. A speech enhancement system, comprising:
-
a first device that converts sound waves into operational signals; and a slave processor in communication with the first device that performs the specialized task of selecting a template that represents an expected signal model from a database based on characteristics of the operational signals; where the selected template models speech characteristics through a speech codebook that further accessed in a communication channel; and where the slave processor is subordinate to a controller resident to a Codec. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
