In modern world communication service providers are continuously met with the challenge of accommodating more users with in a limited allocated bandwidth. Due to this motivation service providers and manufactures are continuously in search of low bit rate speech coders that deliver high quality speech. This paper deals with spoken digit compression. Linear predictive coding and discrete wavelet transforms are used to materialise speech compression. We used Malayalam one of the south Indian

From the result we can see that the performance of wavelet transform is better than LPC. General Terms Signal Processing systems , Wavelet Representation.
