Demonstration of single channel speech dereverberation

     I made a recording of my voice with a monoral voice recorder and tried a dereverberation. During the recording, voice recorder was held with my hand and kept relatively still.

  1. This sound clip contains recorded speech.
  2. This sound clip contains  dereverberated speech processed by the "multi-step linear prediction based dereverberation". (Ephraim's spectral subtraction was employed as a pre-processing to suppress background noise.)
