I seek a textbook(s) for use in a graduate EE dept 1-semester
course in speech processing.  I'd like to know if I'm missing
any books, listed below, for consideration.  The course
description is:

 Speech Processing 525.747.
 The course emphasizes processing of the
 human speech waveform, primarily using
 digital techniques.  Theory of speech
 production as related to signal models in
 time and frequency domains is covered, as
 well as the measurement of model
 parameters, short-time Fourier spectrum,
 and linear predictor coefficients.  Speech
 coding, speech recognition and synthesis,
 and speaker recognition are also included.
 Some consideration is given to speech
 processing hardware.  A software project is
 required.
 Prereqs:  Digital Signal Processing (Oppenheim and Schaffer)
 and Probability and Stoch Processes (Papoulis).
 Background in linear algebra will be helpful.

I'm planning to use Deller, et al. (I prefer O'Shaughnessy,
but it's out of print).  In addition, I'm considering Rabiner
and Juang. I would like the class projects to be done with
MATLAB, so The Student Edition of MATLAB (Prentice-Hall)
might be a good optional book (it includes a crippled
version of MATLAB 3.5 for PCs or Macs). What do you use
and what are your opinions?

Thank you for your time,
Joe
