Abstract

See full text

A speech coding system and associated method relies on a speech coder and a speech decoder. The speech coder provides speech spectrum information, including Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) information, for respective frames of speech. The LSF information is provided to the speech decoder. The speech decoder includes an LSF smoothing filter comprising an adaptive finite impulse response filter for averaging consecutive LSFs which are similar. Consecutive LSFs which are dissimilar are not averaged. The system and method causes a reduction in the shaky quality of synthesized speech without causing a corresponding decrease in the clarity of the synthesized speech.
