Abstract

Speech is the vocalized form of human communication. The variations in speech occurred due to vocal tract vibration. The main aim of speech analysis is to derive time varying characteristics from speech. The three features are considered for analysis namely energy, pitch, and formant frequency. It is observed that variations in speech in same and different age groups are minimum.
