Abstract
Recognition of human speech is carried out by storing a template for each unit of speech to produce a dictionary of stored words and phrases. A given speech signal is converted to produce a template which is compared to the stored template to find the closest comparison. The word or phrase corresponding to the identified template is produced and displayed to complete the recognition of the speech signal. The speech signal is processed to produce two separate frequency components. The frequency components are processed to produce a DC signal proportional to the frequency of the frequency component. The frequency components are also rectified to produce amplitude signals corresponding to the envelope of the frequency components. The products [F.sub.1 ][F.sub.2 ] and [A.sub.1 ][A.sub.2 ] and ratios F.sub.1 /F.sub.2 and A.sub.1 /A.sub.2 of the pairs of frequency and amplitude signals are produced to generate a plurality of relational signals which comprise the templates corresponding to each speech signal. In building the dictionary each speech sample is submitted a number of times to produce an average template value together with the variants for each data point.
