Voice and Speech Quality Perception: Assessment and Evaluation (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2005

Foundations of Voice and Speech Quality Perception starts out with the fundamental question of: "How do listeners perceive voice and speech quality and how can these processes be modeled?" Any quantitative answers require measurements. This is natural for physical quantities but harder to imagine for perceptual measurands. This book...
