Keywords:
Speech processing, Fast fourier transform, Finite impulse response filterAbstract
This research proposes an improving the speech signal quality in the meeting room using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. In the experiment, speech signal is recorded from 54 locations in the same meeting room, which these speech is generated from the same source. The band pass filter is then designed by using FIR filter for filtering the distort frequencies and compare to the original speech in each position. The experiment results show that the FFT technique, which is used to analysis of the speech frequencies, provides more accuracy when uses the frame-to-frame comparison. Moreover, it shown that the lower 500 Hz and higher 2.5 KHz are the error bandwidth for the low and high frequency respectively. Which designed by using FIR filter, is then used to comparison and adjustment these speech signal with the original speech signal. It modifies these speech frequency to similar to original speech approximately 70.77%.
