Speech applications created by a microcomputer: Discover the advantages of newly developed single-chip microcomputers for digital signal processing in speech applications

One of the most popular applications of digital signal processing is speech processing, wherein speech may be analyzed, compressed, coded, synthesized, or recognized. As recently as a few years ago, this type of signal processing was done with a system comprised of a minicomputer, an array processor, and a large storage system. Nowadays, with the advances made by the semiconductor industry, a speech processing system may be condensed into a large-scale integrated circuit.
