    Speech is converted from analog to digital using an analog-to-digital converter that samples the sound multiple times per second. Speech recognition systems initially used time domain features but now use frequency domain analysis by splitting the waveform into short frames, windowing them, and performing FFT or mel cepstral analysis to distinguish phonetic types while being invariant to other factors. The frequency domain allows distinguishing sounds like "beat" versus "bat" based on their spectragrams.

    Analog to Digital

     Speech (sound) is analog


     Computers are digital
     We need to convert
     Sample from A-D converter
     N times a second
     How many times a second?
    Goals of Signal Processing

     Distinguish between phonetic types


     Be invariant to channel/room conditions
     Be invariant to speaker characteristics
