Abstract

The chapter critically reviews several applications of fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems in speech technology, along the main directions of the filed: speech synthesis, speech recognition, and speech analysis. A brief incursion in the use of mixed techniques, combining fuzzy logic, fuzzy classifiers and nonlinear dynamics is included. A rich list of references complements the chapter.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In fact, only frequency is required in this case, but we pursue the two-parameter feature vector for sake of a more complete example.

  2. 2.

    A vowel-like sound is detected when there is a valid pitch, that is, when the vocal folds vibrate. Pure consonants are produced without a pitch.

  3. 3.

    Including [m], [n], [l], [r] etc.

  4. 4.

    This requires a procedure for determining the boundaries of the sound.
