<p>A speech parameter coding method and apparatus which can quantize a spectrum parameter of a speech signal with a smaller number of bits than ever. A dividing section divides a predetermined order number of spectrum parameters, obtained by division of a speech signal into frames, for each order number of spectrum parameters smaller than the divisional order number. A vector quantizing section searches codebooks for the divided spectrum parameters for each order number and outputs a plurality of candidates of codevector in order of magnitude from the minimum one. An accumulated distortion calculating section calculates accumulated distortions for the entire order number for combinations of codevectors. A minimum judging section selectively outputs a combination of codevectors which minimizes the accumulated distortion thereby to quantize the spectrum parameter. <IMAGE></p> |
