41. A system for compressing information bearing input signals such as speech to reduce the information content thereof without destroying the intelligibility thereof, said system comprising: input means adapted to receive said input signals; means for Mozer phase adjusting said signals to produce equivalent signals having symmetric portions; and means for deleting selected redundant portions of said equivalent signals.

The combination of claim 41 wherein said input signals are audio signals having phonemes and phoneme groups and further including means for deleting preselected signals representative of portions of particular phonemes and phoneme groups from said audio signals, said preselected signals corresponding to those portions lying between every nth pitch period, and wherein said generating means includes means for generating second instruction signals specifying said particular phonemes and phoneme groups so selected and identifying the corresponding values of n.
