Title: CHICANO ENGLISH SPEECH PROCESSING
Product review: I bought this book for the course on "Instrumentation" in the Instituto Tecnologico de Mexicali (Mexicali Institute of Technology) at 1991.First: The book does not teach how to design. Instead, it presents a collection of proposed designs. Soon, it was obvious to us that the designs had never been built since they did not work as they were. This would have not been a problem if the professor had not discouraged any change on them.Second: An standard English speaker can deem the phonetics a bit weird. For example, the speech processor consistently devoice the sound of "z" in words like "its" and "has" as it is done in Chicano English. Maybe this can be uncomfortable for a native speaker but for people struggle for acquiring English as a second language, was a terrible source of confusion.Third: It would be good to see the next edition to check if it is better but it seems that it is impossible to find.
