Consonants recognition and noise reduction for Arabic phonemes based Malay speakers / Ali Abd Almisreb

Arabic phonemes can be categorised into 28 consonants. The variations in each phoneme and vowel cause difficulties for the non-native Arabic speakers, particularly the Malay speakers, to pronounce these letters correctly. Hence, in this thesis, noise reduction and consonants recognition are conducte...
