ABSTRACTObjective: The objective of this review article is to give a complete review of various techniques that are used for speech recognition purposes overtwo decades.Methods: VAD-Voice Activity Detection, SAD-Speech Activity Detection techniques are discussed that are used to distinguish voiced from unvoicedsignals and MFCC- Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient technique is discussed which detects specific features.Results: The review results show that research in MFCC has been dominant in signal processing in comparison to VAD and other existing techniques.Conclusion: A comparison of different speaker recognition techniques that were used previously were discussed and those in current research werealso discussed and a clear idea of the better technique was identified through the review of multiple literature for over two decades.Keywords: Cepstral analysis, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, signal processing, speaker recognition, voice activity detection.
