Abstract
When speech is coded using a differential pulse-code modulation system with an adaptive quantizer, the digital code words exhibit considerable variation among all quantization levels during both voiced and unvoiced speech intervals. However, because of limits on the range of step sizes, during silent intervals the code words vary only slightly among the smallest quantization steps. Based on this principle, a simple algorithm for locating the beginning and end of a speech utterance has been developed. This algorithm has been tested in computer simulations and has been constructed with standard integrated circuit technology.
