🗣️ Awesome Speech Enhancement 🎙 🔊 🎤 📱💻 💬

Speech enhancement aims to improve speech quality by using various algorithms. The objective of enhancement is improvement in intelligibility and/or overall perceptual quality of degraded speech signal using audio signal processing techniques.

Enhancing of speech degraded by noise, or noise reduction, is the most important field of speech enhancement, and used for many applications such as mobile phones, VoIP, teleconferencing systems, speech recognition, and hearing aids.

This is a collection of speech enhancement introduction, tips&tricks, methods, papers, books, software, and other resources.
