Vocoders

Vocoders are devices or software that analyze speech to extract its key audio features, such as pitch and tone, and then use that information to generate synthesized speech that mimics the original. They work by dividing the sound into different components and then recreating it using algorithms, allowing for efficient encoding, transmission, or modification of voice signals. Vocoders are used in applications like music production, voice communication, and voice privacy, enabling seamless manipulation of speech qualities or transmission over low-bandwidth channels while maintaining a natural sound.
