A method, program and apparatus for encoding speech. The method comprises: receiving a signal representative of speech to be encoded; at each of a plurality of intervals during the encoding, determining a pitch lag between portions of the signal having a degree of repetition; selecting for a set of said intervals a pitch lag vector from a pitch lag codebook of such vectors, each pitch lag vector comprising a set of offsets corresponding to the offset between the pitch lag determined for each said interval and an average pitch lag for said set of intervals, and transmitting an indication of the selected vector and said average over a transmission medium as part of the encoded signal representative of said speech. |
