Why do we have to divide the speech signals into frames of 10ms or 20 or 25ms? How did the value come to the picture? Please help me... !!!
 

The explanation is simple,

there is direct connection between time and frequency.
for example if
tf=0.020; i.e. time frame is 20 ms then symbol-rate is 1/tf
1/20 ms = >> 1/tf

ans =

50
then You can count the number of elements in the frame, i.e nf=fix(tf/ts); i.e.
>> nf

nf =

144
or in a frame of 20ms You will have 144 discrete elements of the signal.

I get what you are saying, we get 144 samples of the signals. My question was why 20ms and not 1ms or maybe 50ms or any other number for that case.
Does that time frame have a particular significance?
 

When You take frame of 1 ms your frame will have only 14,4 samples. And for analyzes purposes', it is needed not less than 90 (or 180 ) samples in advance at LPC. this is why we take 20ms, 22,5ms or higher values.
 

Thank you.

I got some information too regarding this question!

The fundamental frequency of speech usually ranges around 100Hz.
So we take 20ms frames so that in this time frame only one phoneme occurs and atleast 2 periods of the phoneme occur in this time frame.

Basically our vocal chord can't vibrate faster than 10ms. So we resort to 20ms time frame.
