1. Characteristics of spoken man-machine communication
Automatic speech processing covers a vast range of often complementary activities, which can be classified into five main themes:
speech coding and compression, involved in speech transmission and reproduction;
speech synthesis, consisting in producing a speech signal from a dictionary of phonetic elements and/or rules ;
speech recognition, in which a machine interprets words or phrases spoken by a human speaker in order to perform a specific action;
speaker recognition and verification, a dual problem of the previous one in which we seek to authenticate a person by his voice;
