Why would we use a Stft spectrogram for Analysing human speech?
The STFT is one of the most frequently used tools in speech analysis and processing. It describes the evolution of frequency components over time. Like the spectrum itself, one of the benefits of STFTs is that its parameters have a physical and intuitive interpretation.
What is Stft spectrogram?
s = spectrogram( x ) returns the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) of the input signal x . Each column of s contains an estimate of the short-term, time-localized frequency content of x . The magnitude squared of s is known as the spectrogram time-frequency representation of x [1].
