Speech signal

A speech signal is the sound wave produced when we speak. It captures the vibrations of air caused by your vocal cords, mouth, and tongue as you produce different sounds. These vibrations travel through the air and can be recorded or analyzed with special equipment. In essence, a speech signal is a complex pattern of sound vibrations that convey our words and speech characteristics, allowing others to understand our spoken language. It’s a way to represent spoken language mathematically or electronically for communication, analysis, or processing by machines.
