Summary: Shame about the software ..
Comment: This is an excellent introduction to speech coding, but like the other reviewers, I failed to get the software to play out speech files (using soundblaster boards of various vintages - it always failed).

The text is very good and I would like to employ this in my teaching, but inability to hear the results is very frustrating.

Summary: Great book. Poorly executed software.
Comment: Another reviewer has commented on difficulty playing the sound files. I experienced the same problem. I found a work around using some third party software, but I expected better from Georgia Tech.

I expected trouble free software. I didn't get it. Your milage may vary.

Summary: An excellent learning source for Speech Processing
Comment: This book is written from a practical perspective and this makes it a pleasure to learn about speech coding. Practical exercises provided in the book are can be done with the software provided (2 disks) and this makes learning fun. As a beginer to DSP and espicially to speech processing, I have found most books very technical and difficult to follow without the guidance of a technical person. This book cuts through the technical jargon and gets to the heart of the matter. There are real audio files on which Digital speech processing can be performed, however i found that with my computer, i could not play/hear the sound files. The graphical user interface is straightforward and not difficult to use. I'm glad I bought this book.
