Abstract

A digital signal processor (100) receives a digitally vocoded signal (102), and calculates a staggered average value (404) from the frame energy of each received frame, or the product of the frame energy and a voicing value. While the staggered average value is above a threshold voice indicator value, speech is declared present.
