In this chapter, you will learn about the importance of speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversion. You will also learn about the functions and components needed to do this type of conversion.

Specifically, I will cover the following:

• Why you would want to convert speech to text

• Speech as data

• Speech features that map speech to a matrix

• Spectrograms, which map speech to an image

• Building a classifier for speech recognition through mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features

• Building a classifier for speech recognition through ...
