I need a low cost DSP kit for learning purpose, along with development tools. One main requirement is to process a voice signal (8KHz sampling frequency), with a USB interface.
Any suggestions?
Update
A friend of mine suggested that I can use my PC sound card as a DSP- at least for learning basic DSP for sound and speech processing. I would like to know if some body has already experimented with it, and thus can give me some pointers.
To start with, basic experiments I will be doing are:
1- Performing sampling of speech or music at different sampling frequency (so the quenstion is can I program the ADC/DAC of the sound card or not?), and play to see how it affects the sound quality
2- Some kind of frequency analysis, using FFT and DFT.
3- Then do some kind of filtering, and then observe the sound quality
4- Deliberately add noise
5- trying to put some phase distortion
6- Using the above to develop a voice recognition system
7- See performance of different type of filters (FIR, IIR)
My question is if I chose sound card DSP, will I be able to perform the above tasks, are the software tools available for this purpose ?
