Abstract
A voice coding and decoding system 300 and method uses a personal phoneme table (320, 344) associated with a voice signature identifier (348) to permit encoding of true sounding voice by personalizing the phoneme table used for encoding and decoding. A default phoneme table (364) is used for encoding and decoding until a personal phoneme table (320, 344) is constructed. A MIDI decoder (360) is used to create the reconstructed speech from a string of phoneme identifiers transmitted from the sending side (302) to the receiving side (304).
