Abstract
A method for compressing speech. An audio signal comprising speech is broken down into its phonetic components. These phonetic components are then converted into data elements that represent each of the phonetic components. The determination of data elements is accomplished using a predefined table that correlates phonetic sounds to data elements. The data elements representing the phonetic sounds are then stored.
