This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the International Conference on Non-Linear Speech Processing, NOLISP 2007, held in Paris, France, in May 2007.

The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on nonlinear and nonconventional techniques, speech synthesis, speaker recognition, speech recognition, speech analysis, and exploitation of non-linear techniques.
