Abstract

Speech signal data compression is improved by a first compression using Time Domain Harmonic Scaling (TDHS), wherein two periods of voiced data are averaged together, followed by a second compression using Continuously Variable Slope Delta Modulation (CVSD). Pitch period detection and sampling-rate conversion are also features of the invention.
