In 20th century speech recognition and synthesis became very important part of science. In last 50 years were a lot of researches in speech recognition. And for the moment there are many systems for speech recognition and synthesis for popular European languages, such as French, English, Germanic languages. One of the most important benefits of this is for disabled people to make their life more comfortable and adopt them to normal life, to create new interfaces and possibility to use personal computers for them.

For Lithuanian language need researches, because of our language unique. An aim of research is a spectrum of Lithuanian consonants. Main method is linear prediction is used for finding formants. There are some main methods for speech signals analysis: linear prediction, Furier transformation, cepstral analysis. For linear prediction are several different algorithms. We used Burg algorithm for finding formants. In this research paper records of words were annotated and analyzed by PRAAT software. Formant movement obtained with same program. Obtained data of research was processed with MATLAB 6.5 software. All consonants were divided to groups, such as voiced and unvoiced, semivowels, plosives and fricatives. In our research was analyzed influence of vowels following after consonant. Obtained data is useful for increasing quality in speech recognition and synthesis.

Paper includes:

1. Speech generation analysis.
