Speech is a major area of study for acoustical engineering, including the production, processing and perception of speech. This can include [[physics]], [[physiology]], [[psychology]], [[audio signal processing]] and [[linguistics]]. [[Speech recognition]] and [[speech synthesis]] are two important aspects of the machine processing of speech. Ensuring [[speech transmission index|speech is transmitted intelligibly]], efficiently and with high quality; in rooms, through public address systems and through telephone systems are other important areas of study.<ref>{{cite web|last=Speech Communication Technical Committee|title=Speech Communication|url=http://acosoc.org/TechComm/SCTC/|publisher=Acoustical Society of America|access-date=22 May 2013|archive-date=4 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130604013140/http://acosoc.org/TechComm/SCTC/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
