Separation of Voiced and Unvoiced using Zero crossing rate and Energy of the Speech Signal Bachu R.G., Kopparthi S., Adapa B., Barkana B.D. Electrical Engineering Department School of Engineering, University of Bridgeport AbstractIn speech analysis, the voiced-unvoiced decision is usually performed in extracting the information fromthe speech signals. In this paper, we performed two methods to separate the voiced- unvoiced parts ofspeech from a speech signal. These are zero crossing rate (ZCR) and energy. In here, we evaluated theresults by dividing the speech sample into
